Shiner Original Smoked Sausage

We reviewed Shiner’s Smokehouse from Shiner, Texas. The Shiner original smoked sausage. John Patek moved to Texas from Czechoslovakia in 1889. They started a grocery store in 1937.With much success they expanded into a smoked sausage and meat market. Four generations later, Brian Patek founded Shiner Smokehouse to share their Czechoslovakian heritage with Texas. This smoked sausage was great. It had a really deep smoke flavor. The great quality meat melts in your mouth. I did think that the casing was a little too tough, but not enough to hinder the enjoyment of this sausage. They recently signed a deal with Kroger’s so all of Texas can enjoy their products. One of the better sausages I have tried. Rated 4.85 out of 5-Dave
Shiner Original Smoked Sausage from Shiner’s Smokehouse in you guessed it, Shiner, Texas! We have heard about the Shiner Smokehouse, but with our busy schedules it’s hard to get a break to visit these awesome places (we are in the DFW area). So we were excited to hear about the deal they made with Kroger’s that brought their sausages to the DFW area (yah)! The sausage had a great, fresh taste and had a lot of smoked flavor (love the bountiful smoked flavor). It was juicy and tender with no additives or fillers! It had the perfect amount of spices to compliment the meat. The casing had a great snap to it, but I do have to admit that the first bite I was surprised how thick the casing was. But that definitely doesn’t change my view on the sausage itself, why? Because it’s one of the better tasting sausages I have had and I really look forward to getting my hands on their other products (the Shiner Beer Brats have caught my eye)! Those of you in the DFW are or anywhere in Texas, give this a try and let us know what you think! Rated 4.75 out of 5. -Allison
