If using the optional beer marinade, place the Bratwurst sausages in a shallow dish and pour the beer over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight. Remove from marinade and pat dry before grilling.
Preheat your grill to medium heat (around 350–400°F). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Brush the Bratwurst sausages with a thin layer of olive oil and season them with salt and pepper.
Place the sausages on the grill and cook for about 12–15 minutes, turning them occasionally to ensure even browning. The internal temperature should reach 160°F for fully cooked Bratwurst.
While the sausages are grilling, warm the buns on the outer edges of the grill for 1–2 minutes, if desired.
Serve the grilled Bratwurst inside the buns, topped with mustard, sauerkraut, and optional caramelized onions. Pair with your favorite side dish or a cold beer for an authentic experience!
