This is one of those recipes that just grow as time passed. I don't remember where the I got the basic recipe and I surely don't remember all of the helpful hints from friends that caused it to metamorphose into what it is.I would wager that the changes haven't stopped.

4 tablespoons oil
2 bratwursts, cut into 1/4 inch roundels
1 yellow onion, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced

1 1/2 cups boiling water
1 bottle brown ale, if you like hops,pale ale
