Melt butter in pan. Add onions and cook until caramelized. Add garlic and cook until fragrant.
Return bratwurst to pan, add sauerkraut, beer and brown sugar. Stir to combine, bring to a simmer and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and cook on low until bratwurst are fully cooked. Hold hot for service.
