Christmas is only nine days away (hard to believe, right?), and we’re sure many of you out there are still scrambling for last minute gifts or stocking stuffers. There’s no need to panic, though! We’ve got you covered.

Last month, we introduced you to biltong, the South African cured meat. This month, we want to introduce you to Three Jerks Jerky, “The Original Filet Mignon Beef Jerky.” Made in Venice, California, Three Jerks Jerky is (you guessed it) made from 100% filet mignon. There is no MSG, sodium nitrate, nitrite, or any other artificial ingredients added.

Three Jerks Jerky currently comes in three varieties—Original, Memphis BBQ, and Chipotle Adobo. Each jerky has a very affordable price of 14.99. And you can purchase all three varieties right on the Three Jerks website.

The Original jerky is a simple recipe meant to “bring you back to your grandaddy’s jerky.” It combines salty, sweet and tangy flavors as well as black pepper to satisfy those of you looking for your jerky to leave you with a little kick. Chipotle Adobo is a “fusion of east and west” that brings together a “traditional Filipino style marinade with [a] Mexican inspired Chipotle glaze.” It’s a jerky with a complex blend of flavors for those of you looking for a level of sophistication in your snacks.

Meanwhile, the Memphis BBQ is seasoned with a rub of Memphis style blend of natural spices highlighted by a solid dose of cayenne pepper for the heat lovers out there. Plus it is gluten free, so those of you with dietary restrictions and feel free to enjoy this jerky without a care.

Let’s face it, there’s no better snack than a truly well made beef jerky. If you’re looking for a last minute gift, don’t go crazy trying to come up with something complicated. Just get a pack or two (or three!) of Three Jerks Jerky and we’re positive things will work out all right.

Forget wine — Beer and cheese is an unbeatable combination

Beer and cheese

When one hears the term cheese pairings, wine is the beverage that most often comes to mind, we'd wager. Because, of course, it is. The pairing of wine and cheese is as classic a coupling as peanut butter and jelly, bacon and eggs, or chocolate and strawberries. They're meant to be together. But that certainly doesn't mean that wine is the only adult beverage that can dance an alluring tango alongside everyone's favorite dairy product. Beer, as humble as its reputation can be, is also a beautiful balance to cheese's immense offering of flavors. While some may think of beer as not being as multi-dimensional and varied in its palate-pleasing capabilities as wine, this is not the case - especially now that we live in a world with so many exquisite craft beers, stouts, and lagers.
Of course, another classic accompaniment to cheese is bread or crackers. Why might that be, one might ask. Is it because we're simply in need of a starchy vessel to usher the cheese into our mouths? The answer is actually a bit deeper than that. Starches like bread and crackers are made from the same yeasty ingredients as beer, so their pairing makes perfect culinary sense.
This isn't to say, though, that one can simply pick up a hunk of cheddar and crack open a Budweiser and expect culinary artistry. The science is a bit more nuanced than that, so we're here to help you find the best pairings for your favorite beers and cheeses.

If you’re new to tequila, you might not know all the terms. Even if you’re just a beginner, you probably know all about blanco, reposado, añejo, and maybe even joven. But chances are, you’re not familiar with Cristalino tequila. This reasonably contemporary style is simply añejo tequila that’s been charcoal filtered to remove its natural caramel color and various impurities.

The style is more than just a little popular. It’s actually the fastest growing style of tequila according to Nielsen data. The newest brand to get in on the Cristalino trend is Mijenta.

You may not dislike IPAs as much as you think — you’ve just tried the wrong type
There's much more to the IPA than bitter hop bombs
Beer

The IPA has been described as the cilantro of the beer world. It’s assumed by some novice drinkers that you either love it or hate it. On one hand, it’s one of the most popular beer styles in the American craft world. It’s loved by many drinkers for its liberal use of hops and fresh, crushable flavor profile.

But haters of the style dislike it because they have an assumption that all IPA beers are aggressively hopped and uncomfortably bitter. While there are IPAs that fit that criterion (and fans of that style can’t get enough of them), there are also a handful of other types of IPAs to fit any palate.
