In the South, football season is more than a pastime—it’s a celebration. As early September is here, the grills come out, coolers get packed, and communities gather for one of our favorite traditions: tailgating. Whether you’re cheering on your team from a stadium parking lot or setting up a backyard watch party, Stripling’s General Store has everything you need to create an unforgettable game-day spread—especially if you're looking to buy sausage online and bring a taste of Georgia home.

Fire Up the Grill: Sausage Is the Star

No Southern tailgate is complete without the sizzle of sausage on the grill. Stripling’s sausages, made using time-honored family recipes, are rich in flavor and steeped in tradition. Our fresh pan sausage is a classic for early kickoffs and breakfast-style spreads, while the fresh pork links—available in mild, medium, hot, and jalapeño cheese varieties—are ideal for quick grilling and crowd-pleasing sandwiches.

What makes Stripling’s sausages so special isn’t just the taste—it’s the convenience. You can buy sausage online, have it shipped directly to your door, and be fully stocked for your next game day, whether you’re tailgating in Georgia or streaming the game from out of state. Having access to sausage online means you can build your tailgate menu around the flavors you love—without making a special trip to the store.

Meats That Make the Meal

Sausage may be the MVP, but Stripling’s lineup of smoked meats brings depth and variety to any tailgate table. Our smoked pork chops are tender, juicy, and easy to slice for sliders or sandwiches. Summer sausage and beef jerky are perfect grab-and-go options for snacking throughout the game. These meats are made the Southern way—slow-cooked with care and packed with flavor, requiring little prep and offering big payoff.

Whether you’re serving a full spread or just want to impress a few friends, having Stripling’s smoked meats on hand guarantees your tailgate is a step above the rest. Order our sausage online and we’ll deliver it straight to your door!

Southern Flavors: Sauces, Rubs, and Marinades

What really sets a Stripling’s tailgate apart is the seasoning—and we have some of the best. Stripling’s Original Southern BBQ Sauce is thick, tangy, and just sweet enough to elevate everything from ribs to grilled sausage. This sauce brings authentic Southern barbecue flavor in every pour.

If you’re smoking a pork butt or grilling ribs, don’t skip Stripling’s Pork Rub. It’s a well-balanced blend of spices that brings out the natural richness of the meat without overpowering it. For steak lovers, the Robust Ribeye Marinade is a must-try. It adds bold, savory flavor with a touch of acidity, perfect for ribeyes, sirloins, or even beef kabobs.

Together, these flavor boosters turn basic cuts into game-day favorites and keep guests coming back for seconds.

Don’t Forget the Snacks and Sides

Beyond the main course, Stripling’s delivers on all the extras that round out a true Southern tailgate. Think hoop cheese, sweet onion relish, and good old-fashioned boiled peanuts (coming soon)! These staples are easy to pack, serve, and enjoy. If you’re looking for a crunchy, cheesy bite between plays, try some chips with our queso extreme cheese dip.

Everything is made with that unmistakable homemade quality, using real ingredients and traditional recipes that have stood the test of time.
