description Bierwurst Overview
Bierwurst is a German cooked sausage traditionally made from pork and beef and commonly seasoned with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic, or related spices, with recipes varying by producer and region. The name refers to its traditional association with beer, not to beer as a required ingredient. Bierwurst is generally sold as a firm sausage for slicing and is eaten cold in bread or as part of a German cold-meat selection, although it may also be warmed.
