Beer Brat Chowder

12 oz turkey brats or smoked sausage, cut into 1/2 inch slices
2 large potatoes, diced
1 large onion, diced
1/4 cup garlic, minced
1 12 oz can light beer
2 cups low sodium beef broth
4 cups milk
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup cheddar cheese

In a large pot, cook the brats, potatoes, onion, and garlic until the potatoes are almost tender. Add in the beer, broth, and 3 cups of the milk. Whisk the cornstarch into the remaining cup of milk. Mix into the rest of the chowder. Let it come to a boil, then turn the heat to low. Cook for at least an hour (longer if you'd like), stirring every 20-30 minutes to make sure nothing is sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Stir in the cheese before serving.
