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
Can I keep the unopened pouch in my office desk drawer for weeks?
Yes. The sticks are shelf-stable, so an unopened pouch can sit in a desk drawer or shared break room until you're ready to crack it open.
Does the resealable pouch really keep them fresh across multiple workdays?
Yes. Once opened, just press the pouch closed and the sticks stay fresh through several snacking sessions, which is perfect for workday pacing.
Is this a quick keto-friendly bite I can eat between back-to-back meetings?
Yes, the sticks are ready to eat, require no prep, and fit cleanly into low-carb and keto plans at 90 calories per serving.
Will the bold pepper smell be a problem in an open office?
The smoked, peppery aroma is mild during eating, but if you're in a very close shared space, coworkers typically find it pleasant rather than overpowering.
Can I share these with coworkers who aren't on a specific diet?
Absolutely. The bold three-pepper heat and smoked flavor are widely appealing, and gluten-free, low-sugar sticks work for most dietary preferences.
Is this a good alternative to vending machine snacks for the office?
Yes, the high-protein, low-sugar profile makes these a noticeably better choice than most chips, candy bars, or pastries from a vending machine.
How do I avoid getting hungry during long afternoon focus blocks?
Keeping a resealable pouch of sausage sticks at your desk gives you a quick, savory bite that helps hold you over without the sugar crash of typical snacks.
Can I pack these in a work cooler bag without ice?
Yes. Before opening, they don't need refrigeration, so you can carry them in a lunchbox, work bag, or cooler compartment without ice.
Is this a strong enough snack to replace a quick lunch on busy days?
Several sticks plus a piece of fruit or cheese can stand in for a fast workday lunch, especially when paired with a drink and a small side.
Will the 14 oz pouch last me the whole workweek at the office?
Depending on how many sticks you eat per day, one 14 oz pouch typically lasts most office snackers a full workweek or longer, especially with the resealable pouch.
How do these compare to protein bars for office snacking?
Unlike many protein bars, these sticks have 0g sugar, no fillers, and a savory smoked flavor that won't leave a sweet aftertaste during meetings.
Are these a better desk snack than beef jerky for a shared workspace?
Many office buyers prefer these because the flavor is more refined, the packaging is tidy and resealable, and the spice level feels like a treat without being messy.
How does this compare to a cheese stick or trail mix for focus snacking?
Sausage sticks deliver more protein and bolder flavor than cheese sticks, and unlike trail mix, they don't leave crumbs or require portioning.
Will the heat from the peppers distract me during deep focus work?
Most people find the warmth of the three-pepper blend enjoyable rather than distracting, and many use a bold spicy bite to break up long focus blocks.
Can my coworkers with sensitive stomachs eat these during meetings?
If coworkers are sensitive to spice, they may want to start with half a stick or a milder alternative, since the three-pepper blend is intentionally bold.
What if the pouch opens accidentally in my work bag?
The resealable pouch is designed to stay closed in a bag or drawer. If it does pop open, simply press it sealed again and wipe any sticks as needed.
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.
