1
Cut 4 (1/4-inch deep) slices in each bratwurst (the slits will allow them to soak up the sauce as it cooks and also gives them a nicer appearance).

In a saucepan combine beer, brown sugar, mustard and black pepper; cook over medium heat until the mixture comes to a boil.
3
Add in bratwurst, then reduce heat to low; cook for 5 minutes.
4
Remove from the beer mixture (RESERVE the beer mixture).
5
Place the brats on the grill; brush generously with the remaining beer/mustard mixture until the brats are browned (about 5-6 minutes).
6
Mix softened butter with garlic powder and salt then spread onto each side of the bun; place on the grill and toast until lightly browned.
7
Place 1 brat onto each bun and top with one or all of the condiments.
8
Delicious!
