Beer Sausage - Polish (Kiełbasa piwna)

There is no beer in this recipe although the name may imply otherwise. The sausage derives its name from the final shape of its casing. Pork or beef bladders when stuffed with meat and sewn on both ends, resembled a little beer barrel and this is how the name was created.
