Directions
Preheat your Yoder Smokers YS640 to 225°F. Smoke the brats until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (use a Maverick PT-75 instant read thermometer). Cool to room temperature. Dice the bratwurst. Increase the heat to 400°F and place a Lodge Logic Dutch Oven in the cooker.

- Slowly whisk in the chicken stock. Once all the chicken stock is whisked in, add the beer and cream. Bring to a simmer then whisk in the cheeses, a handful at a time.
- Stir in the sliced bratwurst. Taste and season with salt and pepper as desired. Serve with toasted bread.
