Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sugar; cook, stirring constantly, until mixture turns a light caramel color, about 10 minutes (some sugar may harden). Add onion, sauerkraut and salt; cook over medium heat for 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Add vinegar and caraway seed; simmer for 30 minutes. Use immediately or cover and refrigerate up to 3 weeks. Heat grill. In large saucepan, combine bratwurst and beer. Heat until almost boiling. Cover and simmer 10 minutes. When ready to barbecue, place bratwurst on charcoal grill. Grill 4 to 6-inches from medium-high coals. Cook 6 to 10 minutes or until browned, turning frequently. Serve bratwurst on sandwich buns with relish. Refrigerate any remaining relish.
