For a deeper flavor, use a high-quality dark beer like a stout or porter. If you don't have a grill, you can cook the brats in a skillet or under a broiler. The beer sauce can be made ahead of time and reheated when ready to serve. Experiment with different types of onions, such as Vidalia or red onions, for a variation in flavor. Consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the beer sauce for a subtle kick.
