Brats photo coming soon
1800s-present
Brats are bratwurst in their American backyard form: pork sausages grilled or beer-simmered, tucked into buns, and served at picnics, tailgates, baseball games, and summer cookouts. Wisconsin made the brat especially visible through German American sausage culture and stadium food.
