About Us
Over 50 years ago, we 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. Sheboygan was a natural place to start. The unique climate on the shores of Lake Michigan is perfect for sausage making. With that knowledge, Old Wisconsin began as Thielmann’s, a small sausage shop owned and operated by Frank Thielmann and William Stolzman. Even today, we still use many of their high-quality sausage recipes. Due to increased demand, we opened our first plant in 1953 and changed our name to Thielmann’s Old Wisconsin Sausage Company shortly after.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 2-pack a good value bundle for gifting?
Yes, the 2-pack value bundle gives the recipient plenty of sticks to enjoy over time and makes a more substantial gift than a single pouch.
Can I give this as part of a charcuterie or game day gift basket?
Absolutely. The bold three-pepper heat and hardwood-smoked flavor pair perfectly with cheeses, crackers, mustards, and beer for a charcuterie or game day spread.
Is this a good gift for someone who loves spicy food?
Yes. The Serrano, Jalapeño, and Red pepper blend delivers real heat, so spice lovers will appreciate a gift that doesn't pull punches on flavor.
Does this work as a Father's Day, birthday, or holiday gift for him?
Yes, it fits a man cave, beer fridge, or game day setup, which makes it a popular pick for Father's Day, birthdays, host gifts, and the holidays.
Can I send this as a housewarming or hostess gift?
A resealable pouch of premium smoked sausage sticks is a great hostess or housewarming gift, especially for someone who enjoys entertaining with a charcuterie board.
Is this a thoughtful gift for a coworker or friend who grills?
Yes, the hardwood-smoked flavor and bold spice are right at home on a grill-themed gift list, and the resealable pouch keeps it practical for sharing.
Is this a good last-minute gift that ships fast?
Because it's shelf-stable and ready to gift straight out of the pouch, it's a great last-minute gift when you need something bold and reliable without extra prep.
Will the recipient think this is a cheap, gas station-style snack?
No. Old Wisconsin uses premium cuts of pork and beef with no fillers, plus a natural hardwood smoke, which feels like a step up from typical gas station jerky.
Does the packaging look nice enough to gift as-is?
The 14 oz resealable pouch has a clean, recognizable look, but you can also place it in a gift basket alongside cheese, crackers, and a mustard for a more presentation-forward gift.
Is this a good fit for a Valentine's Day or anniversary gift for him?
If your partner loves spicy snacks, beer, or hosting game day, it's a fun, themed gift, though it's not a traditional romantic gift in the chocolate-and-flowers sense.
How does this compare to a generic beef jerky gift pack?
Old Wisconsin sausage sticks offer hardwood-smoked flavor, no fillers, and a bold three-pepper kick, which feels more special than a standard beef jerky variety pack.
Is this better than a cheese and cracker gift basket for a meat lover?
For someone who loves meat, premium smoked sausage sticks are often a bigger hit than a cheese and cracker basket, and they pair well as an addition to one.
How do these compare to a summer sausage log as a gift?
Both deliver that classic smoked meat flavor, but these come in convenient single-serve sticks with bold three-pepper heat and resealable packaging, which many gift recipients prefer.
What if the recipient doesn't eat spicy food?
If the recipient avoids heat, this may not be the right gift, since the three-pepper blend is intentionally bold. In that case, a milder snack gift is a safer pick.
Is the 2-pack actually worth it over a single pouch for a gift?
Yes, the 2-pack gives more sticks for sharing on game day or across multiple snacking sessions, which makes it feel more generous and gift-worthy than a single pouch.
Will the heat be too strong for someone who only likes mild snacks?
If the gift recipient avoids spicy food, this is probably not the best choice. The three-pepper blend is built for people who genuinely enjoy real heat.
How should I store the sausage sticks after opening?
After opening, reseal the pouch and refrigerate it to preserve the best flavor and texture. The unopened pouch is shelf-stable and does not need refrigeration.
Are these sticks ready to eat straight out of the package?
Yes, the sticks are fully cooked and ready to eat. Just open the resealable pouch and enjoy, no prep required.
How long does an unopened pouch last before it expires?
Each pouch is stamped with a best-by date on the packaging. Stored in a cool, dry place, the unopened pouch stays good well past any short-term trip.
Do these sticks fit in a standard lunchbox or gym bag?
Yes, the individual sticks are sized to fit easily in a lunchbox, gym bag, car console, or desk drawer without any extra prep or containers.
Can I freeze them for long-term storage?
The unopened pouch is shelf-stable, so freezing isn't necessary. Once opened, refrigeration is the recommended way to keep sticks fresh.
What's included when I order a single pouch versus the 2-pack?
A single order includes one 14 oz resealable pouch of Hot & Spicy Sausage Snack Sticks, and the 2-pack includes two of the same 14 oz pouches. No additional accessories are required.
Are these safe for people with common food allergies?
The product is gluten free, but you should always review the full ingredient list on the pouch for any personal allergens like soy, dairy, or specific spices before eating.
Is the packaging safe and sealed when it arrives?
Yes, the resealable pouch is factory sealed for freshness. If the seal appears broken or damaged on arrival, contact the retailer for a replacement.
What's the difference between sausage sticks and beef jerky?
Sausage sticks are made from seasoned, smoked pork and beef in a stick format, while beef jerky is typically dried, sliced beef. Sticks tend to be richer, smokier, and more savory, with a more filling bite per piece.
