The Number 1 Bratwurst Sold In The World Comes From Wisconsin

Wisconsin is known for its love of bratwurst. America loves brats ,too, even outside of the cheese state. Only one other country consumes more bratwurst than the United States, and that's Germany. That's not a big surprise considering the bratwurst originally comes from Germany. German immigrants coming to Wisconsin brought their tasty sausages with them, and Wisconsin ran away with the title.

I was curious to see just how big the bratwurst industry was in Wisconsin when I found out that the number one company in the entire world for Bratwursts has a rich Wisconsin history.

Johnsonville Bratwurst Global Leader

If you guessed Johnsonville Brats, congratulations. They are the leading bratwurst company across the globe. It's estimated that in America alone, 60 million people consume their product every year. I'm proud to say I've been one of those 60 million people every year. I don't think there's anything better than a fresh Johnsonville brat on a charcoal grill.
