The winner of ‘Best Brat’ in the IN Food Taste Test was the Teton Cheddar & Mild Jalapeño. We suppose in this case, as a local brand, it sort of is. Like Schweigert, the packaging offers a style that seems like it’s straight from the butcher shop across the street. The authenticity and simplicity of New Bohemia’s packaging draws us in. We loved the strong prevalence of cheese, but the softer texture, likely due to the cheese, was a bit of a turn-off. In tasting, we noticed a sweetness and greasiness (the kind you want in a brat). Local to Minnesota, we were excited to try this brat. The imagery provides taste appeal, but it gets lost in a dark background. The nutritional information on the front, though promoting ingredient transparency, makes the design feel cluttered. Schweigert’s packaging reflects a traditional-style that you’d expect from a mom and pop butcher shop. Overall, this brat has a great flavor and nice saltiness. The brats’ wrapped casings give it a straight-from-the-butcher appeal. Schweigert’s brats have a smoky, cheddar flavor. With this information larger than Teton’s logo, it can be implied that the company cares more about how their brats are made than about brand recognition. Using “100% grass-fed beef” as a callout reaches an audience of people who care most about the quality of their meat. Teton’s packaging immediately stands out through their use of color and straight-forward design. It had a nice smoky flavor and the ratio of brat, cheese and spice was on point. This brat surprised us (in a good way) with hints of jalapeño. Additionally, showing a cooked brat (grill marks included) gives the packaging taste appeal. Our brat expert, Maggie, says, “Contrary to prior belief, I can’t always crush six brats in one sitting.” The resealable packaging Johnsonville uses is key and sets itself apart from other brands. The cheese was there, but it wasn’t as cheesy as the others and had an air of artificiality. Compared to other brands, we noticed this brat seemed sweet and had a softer interior. It’s easy to find at any grocery store and always satisfies the “I need a brat” feeling. The Contenders:įor many of us in the office, Johnsonville is our go-to brat. Maggie Alt, Account Manager & Wisconsin native, brings her own sauerkraut to the party. And with a fair amount of our office from Wisconsin, we threw in a classic twist. With the holiday around the corner and a season of backyard barbeques ahead, we were craving a summer staple in the office: brats.
