Home workout. Zoom meetings. Netflix and chill. Repeat. Is it just us, or are your quarantine days blurring together too?
No worries, we’ve got just the thing to spice up your evenings: jerky and craft beer pairings. Because quarantine demands beer, and beer demands snacks.
Our Fuego Beef Jerky is a favorite among spice-seekers, and we totally get it. Something about it is suspiciously addictive. But no need to worry — there’s nothing shady going on here. Just grass-fed beef and the bold spicy flavors.
That kind of jerky deserves a beer that’s equally bold, don’t you think? With loads of hops and a citrus kick, Saint Archer's IPA is just the thing to balance that spice.
If our Mango Habanero jerky had a dating profile, it would say something like “sweet and tangy with bright, intense spice.”
So who’s its beer soulmate? Modern Times Blazing World amber ale delivers a complex flavor profile that’s intensely fruity and incredibly hoppy — the perfect match for our sweet and spicy Mango Habanero. Swipe right on this match.
Hickory Smoke Turkey Jerky will take you back to evenings by the campfire (you know, when you could still leave your house).
Match its signature smokiness with the full body and rich caramel, coffee flavor of AleSmith's Imperial Stout.
Mmm ... all the sweet, pineappley, gingery goodness of authentic teriyaki without the MSG that’s in many teriyaki sauces. Our Teriyaki Beef Jerky’s sweetness is balanced by salty, umami flavors from the gluten-free soy sauce.
Pair it with Kona's Big Wave, a light and fruity golden ale that’s sure to transport you to an island paradise. Metaphorically, of course. (Seriously, stay home.)
With the world turning upside down, it’s nice to know some things never change — like the classic peppery punch of our Original Beef Jerky.
One classic deserves another, so pair this jerky with the familiar, refreshing crispness of a Dos Equis Lager.
A quick word for our friends in the craft beer world: small breweries are taking a huge hit under social distancing orders. So if your local taproom offers packaged beer in stores or for carryout, go show ‘em some love!
We know this is a lot to think about. So go ahead and save or pin the quick guide below so you'll already be prepared for next weekend...and the one after that...
