Sara Lee Offers You Its New Wiener. And Guess What? It Comes With Beer.

Too much work to empty a bottle of beer into a pot to boil those brats? Never fear. MillerCoors and Sara Lee are now wingmen to bring you a new brat that has already been cooked in beer. The new name of the brat is: The Hillshire Farm Miller High Life Beer Brat. (Okay, okay...it's not a wiener in the true sense...but we're feeling juvenile today and where else you gonna get a headline like that?)

Sara Lee is based in Downers Grove, having moved there from Chicago where they were previously since 1942. Here's a fun fact. The brats are sold in a six-pack, making your shopping calculations easier. [Crain's]
