From the trail to the tavern...and all paths in between...
Welcome to Third Lake Sausage Shop!
Third Lake was founded on our love of sausage, the out-of-doors, and the great state of Wisconsin.
Third Lake honors our neighboring Lake Monona as well as another beautiful lake in the Adirondacks where our owner, Jesse Brookstein, spent many beautiful summers with his fam & friends.
Before opening Third Lake, Jesse was lucky enough to meet a ton of amazing meat industry pros while writing his first book about sausage, "A Perfect Pair: The History of Landjaeger in Green County, Wisconsin."
Jesse is currently working on a follow up book covering the history of *all* Wisconsin sausage, which is set to be published by the Wisconsin Historical Society Press in 2026.
Through his travels and interviews. Jesse has continued to meet some of the nation's brightest and hardest-working sausage makers - and through Third Lake, Jesse hopes to share these products with the world.
As of now, we're working with Bavaria Sausage in Fitchburg, WI to provide landjaeger bundles as well as Heinz Mattmann from New Glarus, WI in the creation of one-of-a-kind landjaeger display cases.
This page is currently a holding spot as we build our our business, and you can currently find all our sausage-related products at karatefightpublishing.com
Thanks so much for dropping by the lake, and please stay tuned for updates...
