This is perfect the way it is...I wouldn't change a thing! I always use a Sam Adams beer...boston lager, pale ale, whatever we have on hand, and it turns out sooo nice. I tried before with heinken and it was ok, not as flavourful. 5 stars, thanks to Jbbach!

Great!! I really enjoyed this simple, easy, and delicious. What more could you ask for! Used miller lite for the beer and the only change I would make next time is to add more kielbasa. Thanks for the recipe!

This was very yummy! I followed others' advice and added spicy brown mustard, garlic, honey, apple cider vinegar, and sauteed mushrooms and onions together. I only used one can of sauerkraut and that was plenty. I had only one pound of kielbasa so I also used one pound of smoked sausage and it tasted fine. Served over mashed potatoes. Will be making again!

Yum. I added Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, sliced apple, 2 bay leaves, potatoes and yams. Totally wonderful. I drained and rinsed the sauerkraut. No beer taste as I would be sensitive to it. I served it to company and got lots of reviews. The house smelled heavenly, too. With my slow cooker, I started the dish on High, then low and than back to high as the potatoes needed more time. Will make again very soon.

This is an excellent easy recipe. I only use 1lb of meat since it is only the two of us. The beer I like to use is a Chinese beer called Tsingtao Beer.

Although i'm not a huge sauerkraut fan, this was pretty good. I too read other reviews and decided to brown the sausage for about 5 minutes first, then add some sauteed onions and garlic. Used 2 cans of 14oz sauerkraut instead of recommended amount (didn't seem like enough) Coors Light beer, a splash of dijon mustard, splash of honey, and simmered on low for about 5.5 hours. Pretty good!!

Nothing terribly special but it tasted good. I added a squirt of spicy brown mustard and simmered it on the stovetop for a little over an hour. I think cubed potatoes might be a good addition next time to give it a little more substance.

Maybe I did something wrong, but I did not like this recipe at all. While the flavor of the dish was nice the texture of the keilbasa was very mushy.

I added one squirt of spicy mustard and 1 squirt of honey to it and a little extra beer than called for. My husband was in heaven!

Very good, and super easy! I incorporated others' suggestions and added sauteed onion and garlic, honey mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, and caraway seeds. I also tossed in some sliced mushrooms. This did not turn out mushy. I would not take the casings off the sausages - I think they would fall apart. I served this with applesauce and baked potatoes - had I planned ahead, I think german potato salad would have gone with it nicely. I will add that I used fresh polish sausage. Most of the photos appear to be of smoked. (The recipe didn't specify which to use.)
