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.

The best beers to pair with your summer yard games

Anderson Valley

When it comes to leisure activities during the summer months, it’s difficult to beat the appeal of a round of yard games. What could be more fun on a hot, sunny day than besting your friends and siblings in an epic backyard brawl? I can’t think of anything.

I’m talking about games like croquet, lawn darts, bocce, ladder ball, cornhole, and more. The only thing that makes the experience better is having a frosty, refreshing beer firmly in one of your hands. But just like how you don’t enjoy every yard game, not just any beer will do.
