General Info:

It all started way back in the late 1800s. That’s when Henry Meyer hitched a ride from Germany to the U.S., bringing his recipe for smoked sausage all the way to Texas. Then, around 1915, Henry taught his son, Rudolf Karl Georg (R.G.) Meyer the secrets of his mouthwatering sausage. Soon, R.G. was the hit of his friends, making up big batches of it for them every chance he got. With some prodding from his fans, R.G. was persuaded to start marketing the tasty sausage, and founded Meyer’s Sausage Company in 1949. With the birth of Meyer’s Elgin Sausage came the dawn of a new civilization: ‘Cue-topia, Texas. Why ‘Cue-topia? Well, as R.G. always said, “’Cue-topia is the perfect state of barbecue.” The sausage was made without any fancy preservatives, and was smoked in the little smokehouse right there on the Meyer’s property. R.G. had great success selling his product locally, and figured he might as well sell to Austin and other Central Texas communities. This started the wholesale end of the business, which is now the largest part of the Meyer’s sausage operation. In 1959, R.G.’s son, F.W. (Buddy) Meyer took over his father’s company. Buddy continued to build the family business, and Meyer’s sausage became legendary throughout the great state of Texas. Buddy tenaciously stuck to his family’s commitment to quality, and the company continued to grow. Finally, in 1989 Gregg and Gary Meyer became the fourth generation of sausage makers to carry on the family tradition. Today, it’s still high quality meats, special blends of spices, natural casings and that hickory smoke flavor that make Meyer’s sausage so incredibly tempting. But most say the success of Meyer’s Sausage Company and Meyer’s Elgin Smokehouse is based on one not-so-secret ingredient: 75 years of family pride and four generations of tradition.
