At The Game:

Poke holes all over the brats using a fork. Combine the brats, beer, and half the onions in a medium pot. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Simmer until bratwurst are firm and cooked through, around 15 minutes. Transfer the brats to a plate and save some of the liquid.

In a large skillet, heat the oil on a medium-high heat. Add the remaining onions and bell peppers. Cook until very soft, roughly 15 minutes, tossing occasionally. During the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the bratwurst to the skillet to brown them. If the vegetables start getting too dar, you can add a few tablespoons of the brats cooking liquid. Salt and pepper to taste.

Serve brats in a bun with mustard and top with sauteed peppers and onions.
