About Boozy Jerky
Boozy Jerky was founded in 2018 in Otsego, Minnesota, by Dana Severson and Shaun Gray. The duo set out to create a snack that paired perfectly with craft beer, infusing premium beef with the flavors of America’s best breweries. What started as an idea to elevate the snack and beer experience quickly grew into a brand known for bold, beer inspired jerky that captures the essence of craft brewing without any alcohol.
The brand’s core philosophy centers on innovation, quality, and pairing. Production involves marinating beef for twenty four to forty eight hours in small batches with craft beer flavors and unique ingredients, then drying to achieve tender, flavorful jerky.
Today, Boozy Jerky remains based in Otsego, continuing to innovate with new brewery partnerships and flavors. What makes Boozy Jerky special is the way the founders’ passion for craft beer and careful craftsmanship come through in every bag. The beer infused marinades and small batch process create jerky that feels premium, unique, and designed for the perfect pairing moment.
The Boozy Jerky Difference
The Boozy Jerky difference reveals itself the moment you open the bag. A rich, savory aroma of seasoned beef and craft beer inspired spices rises, carrying notes of rosemary, maple, or stout that hint at the bold flavors inside. It is an immediate sensory invitation that sets high expectations, and the brand consistently delivers.
Crafted in small batches from premium beef, each strip offers a tender yet substantial chew. The meat is marinated for twenty four to forty eight hours so flavors penetrate fully, then dried to develop a pleasant resistance that gives way to a clean, enjoyable finish. You notice the substantial bite that feels rewarding without any toughness, the result of extended marination and careful drying.
Flavor development is masterful and distinctly beer inspired. House made marinades penetrate deeply, allowing complex profiles to build and linger with every chew. Montreal Maple Spice blends sweet maple with a spicy kick that lingers pleasantly. Rosemary Garlic Pilsner delivers savory, buttery herbs with fresh aromatic notes. Peppered Stout offers rich dark depth while Breckenridge Bourbon brings smooth barrel warmth. Each flavor captures the essence of its beer inspiration without any alcohol.
This craftsmanship stems directly from the brand’s story and values. Every step from the Otsego kitchen to the final bag reflects Dana and Shaun’s passion for craft beer and quality. The result is jerky that feels premium, innovative, and perfect for pairing. If you enjoy these bold, beer inspired profiles, explore our full beef jerky selection.
