We start with 100%, high-quality beef. Then we carefully season the meat with a special blend of spices. Next, we smoke our Beef Summer Sausage over natural hardwood fires until it reaches perfection. And finally, you get to enjoy it!Over 50 years ago, OLD WISCONSIN began more than a sausage company—we created a legacy that led to Sheboygan, Wisconsin, being known as the "Bratwurst Capital of the World." Sheboygan has always had a proud German heritage—people with a strong work ethic and a history of excellent sausage. OLD WISCONSIN is built on this foundation, and it can still be tasted today in our quality and slow, hand crafted approach to sausage making.
