Grilled Polish Sausage

"Attention sausage and sauerkraut lovers! I think it’s time we had our own fan club, don’t you? I nominate my Minnesota-raised father as the honorary chairman of that club. All I have to do is mention the words sausage and sauerkraut, and it doesn’t seem to matter what else is involved. He’s all over it. (Hmm, S & S pizza anyone?) In this case when I mentioned we were grilling polish sausages and then simmering them in beer with sauerkraut and onions, he couldn’t get here fast enough. This is great summer grilling party food because you can keep those sausages simmering for a couple hours on the grill, ensuring you have hot food ready throughout the party. From what I understand, this dish is a summer standby in Wisconsin and Minnesota. Dad thinks it’s pretty common in Nebraska too. I’m just happy it made its way to Northern California. My patio to be specific. Enjoy...."
