Oktoberfest kicks off starting Sept. 16 this year. But any time is the best time to celebrate by getting a taste of Munich sent right to your door with a speedy shipment of authentic German sausages. There are sausages to suit any celebration, including brats, knackwurst, weisswurst, currywurst and bockwurst. And if you can't wait for an event, you can just head online whenever to order your favorite bratwurst.
Oktoberfest has roots as a celebration of King Ludwig I's marriage to Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen. These days, it's more about marrying great Bavarian beer with traditional German food, music and some general Wies'n revelry. If you want to do as the Germans do for Oktoberfest, you'll need some supplies, and we've uncovered the absolute best bratwurst to order online, sausages that'll have you slap dancing in your lederhosen.
Many of our favorite online butchers and specialty food purveyors stock these essential festival foods, including those made by Schaller & Weber, the preeminent New York-based German butcher and sausage maker.

For a little variety, try Harry & David's sausage sampler with traditional German brats but also Cajun andouille, traditional Italian and Canadian-style chicken sausage with cheddar and jalapenos.
Beef bratwursts
This is a classic brat recipe but Porter Road swapped out the pork for dry-aged beef and then added eggs and cream for a pillowy finish.

Vegetarians and vegans can now enjoy a proper sausage fix. Surely you've heard about the plant-based meat alternatives from food-tech startups like Impossible and Beyond Meat. These meatless brats with all-vegan ingredients, courtesy of Beyond Meat, imitate the flavor of traditional German sausage and do a pretty darn good job of it.
Wagyu summer sausage
