I chose this recipe as a way to celebrate the coming of spring. Although it was still chilly outside it felt good to be out at the grill. Boiling the brats in beer made them extra delicious and the addtion of the traditional Chicago-style toppings made my Chicago-born husband especially happy :) Thanks Chicagoland Chef du Jour!
