1.
In a large skillet, cook the brats in the beer over medium heat covered for about 10 minutes. Turn the brats occasionally and poke with a fork to help let the spices simmer into the beer.
2.
After the brats have reached a decent grayish color, drain the beer into another large skillet for cooking the pierogies.
3.
Finish cooking the brats uncovered until a desired brown cooked coating is achieved but be careful not to burn.
4.
While finishing the brats, cook the pierogies in the beer from the brats over medium heat for about 15 minutes, flipping them once or twice to cook evenly and not stick to the pan.
5.
Serve together while still hot.
