Tried Opa's Brauts this evening
So they sell them at Central Market. I was really excited to try them based on what I'd heard about how good they are.
Even though it's 30 degrees here this evening, I put then on the Weber Kettle. Taste? Eh. So not buying them again. Quite disappointing in fact. |

Never seen nor tried Opas Brats. What was it you didn’t like. Taste texture casing seasoning?were they raw Or precooked?
Most brats I’ve bought are really bland. Other brand Bratwurst Ive bought are boiled in beer butter onion stock etc then flash grilled- at times this process is reversed then eaten with a tortilla bread bun etc with mustard As far as using Bratwurst as a regular grilled sausage to snack on , not what I do. Opas Sausage—country blend green Chile etc are good imho Now that I know Opas has a Bratwurst I’ll look for it and some German coarse mustard. Thanks for posting, I never knew they had a Bratwurst in their lineup Last edited by 16Adams; 11-13-2018 at 07:08 PM.. |

My initial first bite impression was that of thick, dense, and almost reminded me of a breakfast sausage. It just had a very different taste then I would expect from a regular Brat. I actually would take a Johnsonville uncooked beer brat over this any day. The brats made from scratch at my local butcher are also superior and more traditional in taste and texture. |

I hear ya. Thanks. Actually I think Johnsonville is pretty solid for my part of the world. Coarse texture- I like that. I’m not that fond of bologna texture in a brat nor smoked sausage. Some are better than others. It has its place, but I don’t seek it out.
Thanks for the review Last edited by 16Adams; 11-13-2018 at 07:31 PM.. |

I am in for the Brat discussion - I think I have Brat issues like I do Kebobs.
1. Costco here has stopped selling Brats late August. NO MO Brats. You Wisconsin/ Chicago / Minnesota folks grasp this idea? No, because WE all know - Brats are Football Food. Last edited by mchar69; 11-13-2018 at 08:09 PM.. |

It is much lighter in color and don't over cook them - delicious. |

Did you get something like this? This is also a "bratwurst".

It was darker than that - more grey in color. Could it be darker and still be what you are suggesting?
