| - Das ist gut! If you want some of the best sausages you'll find in Arizona, you need to go to this shop. After picking up my knives from Phoenix Knife House across the street, I spied the German Sausage Company and thought, what better way to celebrate having a wicked sharp knife again than to get a few sausages for dinner? Sausages and knives, it brings out the primal beast in us all!
The shop itself is well organized and holds not only cured meat, but jarred condiments, crackers, cookies, all German brands. Off to the far side of the case there were two trays of delectable bienenstich for sale. I couldn't resist and got a piece for $2.40. I looked at all the freshly made sausages and cured slabs o'meat and had a hard time deciding what to get, it all looked so good!
I asked the lovely ladies at the counter, "So what's something I can only get at this shop that I won't be able to get at another place that sells sausages?"
Both replied, "Everything!"
Looking at the sausage selection, I decided to get the curry bratwurst, debreziner, and weisswurst sausages, 1/2 pound of each. For your reference each sausage is about 1/4 lbs.
The sausages are all fully cooked so they just need that extra finishing touch to warm them up. Also note that there are no preservatives in the sausages so use them up as soon as you can. I grilled the curry bratwurst and debreziner and boiled the weisswurst. Each sausage had a distinct flavor and were superb. The debreziner had a deep smoky flavor with a slightly thicker tasting casing that allowed for a good "snap" when you bit into it. The meat itself was perfectly seasoned, and very tender. The curry bratwurst looked more pale than I'm used to seeing in bratwurst sausages, and tasted more delicate. It had a hint of curry that could easily be overpowered if you ate it with a strong tasting condiment. The weisswurst was the most delicate tasting of the bunch, and paired wonderfully flavor-wise with some sweet hot mustard I had in the house. The traditional way to eat these sausages is to boil them over simmering heat, then removing the casing.
The bienenstich was a layered bit of German bliss. The cake was a perfect density, with custardy cream and toasted shaved almonds on top. I loved the combination of textures and flavors.
Service was very sweet and friendly. Note that they are cash or check only though so be prepared.
I'll be back for sure!
