Swaggerty Brats

I’ve been buying Johnsonville brats for years
Saw a new to me brand at the market today, Swaggerty’s
Boiled them in some Yuengling and then on to the grill.
Homemade sauerkraut and mustard toppings, the wife and daughter liked them much better than oh regular johnsonvilles.
Billed and no fillers or preservatives, they are very good.

Ingredients:
Pork, Seasoning (Salt, Corn Syrup Solids, Dextrose, Spices, Spice Extractives, Citric Acid, BHA, BHT, Propyl Gallate), Beer, Vinegar Flavoring (Potassium Lactate, Vinegar, Natural Flavors).

They most certainly do have preservatives:

#2 ingredient behind pork is salt which is one of the oldest preservatives in history. Also, the quantity is 1/3 of daily allowance of sodium per link

Propyl gallate - an ester formed by the condensation of gallic acid and propanol. Since 1948, this antioxidant has been added to foods containing oils and fats to prevent oxidation.

Swaggerty is one of my clients. We've done four projects for them, I personally did two expansions and a new kill floor for them several years ago.

Looking at another expansion project for them this week.

^^^^^^^^ Yuengling is not available here.

What other beer is good to use? I assume the ordinary mass market cheap beers would taste blah.

We always boiled in whatever beer we were drinking at the time. I think you could be overthinking this part.

Yep, has to have preservatives, probably misread that and it’s just no fillers
