BRATWURST IN BEER SAUCE

8 fresh bratwurst
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/8 teaspoon caraway seeds
1 cup dark beer (double bock or a similarly sweet beer)

Place bratwurst in center of cooking grate. Grill 18 to 25 minutes until no longer pink in the center, turning once halfway through grilling time.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan heat flour and oil over low heat, stirring frequently, until light brown. Add marjoram and caraway seeds. Gradually whisk in dark beer. Bring sauce to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring frequently, until sauce is slightly thickened.

Place bratwurst in sauce to coat. Serve with remaining sauce, brown bread, sauerkraut, and sweet mustard.
