Glier’s Meats Inc. is a family-owned food and beverage manufacturer based in Covington, Kentucky, with a history dating back to 1946 when founder Robert Glier established a small sausage shop. The company specializes in handcrafted meat products, most notably its Oktoberfest Brand sausages, which have gained recognition as top-selling customized bratwurst and mettwurst at the Cincinnati Oktoberfest for many decades. Central to its product line is Goetta, a regional dish made from pork, beef, steel-cut oats, and seasoning, which the firm has produced in small-batch, slow-cooked, and hand-stirred fashion for over 70 years. Glier’s Meats emphasizes traditional craftsmanship and continuity of the family-owned operation in its historic building near the Ohio River. The business operates within the food and beverage manufacturing industry, serving customers who value regionally inspired, long-standing recipes and small-batch processing. Its approach combines time-honored techniques with production practices that reflect its founder’s methods, positioning it as a specialized supplier of Goetta and Oktoberfest-brand sausages in the regional market. A recent development noted in local media references attendance at Goettafest events and ongoing presence in community celebrations, illustrating engagement with regional culinary traditions and events.
