What side to cook with brats?

just be sure to let them sit in a sauerkraut beer bath

Go with a warm German potato salad.

That was gonna be my other suggestion. Just sauteed cabbage with garlic and salt and pepper is phenomenal.

It wasnt just brats, normally those were just for me and a buddy and it was with hot dogs/hamburgers

I know Schwartz is gonna cringe.. but we take a couple slices of bacon, render them down to produce a couple tablespoons of bacon grease. Remove the bacon and sautee the cabbage in the bacon renderings on med-med high fire, until the cabbage turns golden,stirring continuously. Then crumble the cooked bacon on top of the cabbage, reduce your fire to low and let simmer for about twenty minutes, add salt, black and red pepper to taste, stirring once in a while to make sure the cabbage doesn't stick. You can add a little water if it sticks.. but not alot of it.
Delicious with sausage or brats. Should look like this:

I don't think I've ever tasted it with sugar.. But I've heard of it.

some good baked beans, and some original lays potato chips

Don't forget the oft left out caraway seeds in the Kraut for bonus flavor.
