Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cut the casing off the bratwurst and cook the meat in a skillet until done.

Remove cooked bratwurst from the pan.

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the skillet.

Sprinkle in flour and let cook for about a minute.

Add milk, beer, and a gravy mixture, whisking until combined.

Let the mixture come to a boil while stirring for about five minutes until thickened.

Sprinkle in shredded cheddar cheese and mix until melted.

Add the cooked bratwurst back into the mixture and stir.

Transfer the mixture to a 9-inch baking dish and sprinkle cheese curds on top.

Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes until bubbly.
