Glier’s Meats Inc. began in 1946 as a simple sausage shop where our founder, Robert Glier, perfected his art of sausage-making. Glier’s recipes have stood the test of time, and live on today as Oktoberfest Brand Sausages. New generations discover the Oktoberfest Brand every day. A testament to Glier’s craftsmanship, Oktoberfest Brand sausages have been the top-selling custom-made brats and metts featured at the wildly popular annual Oktoberfest Cincinnati event for over thirty years. In the winter months Robert created his version of a celebrated regional dish of pork, beef, steel-cut oats, and seasoning. Somewhat similar to sausage and scrapple this regional specialty is called “Goetta.” Which was originated in the late 1800’s, Goetta later became the cornerstone of Gliers Meats, Inc.
What we do at Glier’s Meats Inc. is just as much about who we are, as what we craft. We are still owned and operated by the Glier Family who perfected the recipe. We are proud to be located in our historic building near the Ohio River, 533 Goetta Place. We are a carefully trained and dedicated team of professionals who slow-cook and hand-stir every batch of our Goetta in the same small batch size our founder, Robert Glier, used over 70 years ago.
