As we began planning a creative Father’s Day idea to celebrate the special fathers in our lives, we were brought back to one of our most favorite experiences from our childhood. Every year as kids, we’d pile into the car with Nana and Pop, and take a road trip up to Virginia. We loved the excitement of this annual trip, and especially enjoyed getting to choose our favorite snacks to bring for the long car ride. What was a go-to of ours? A bag of beef jerky! It’s always been one of our favorite (and most delicious!) memories we have from these trips with our grandparents, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Fast forward to last year, we created a Father’s Day Jerky and Beer Pairing Party for a fun and unique way to celebrate the special men in our lives — and it was a hit! We loved seeing everyone sharing their own recreations of this idea. So, this year, we’ve decided to do it again, with an updated menu and fresh pairings that’ll delight any dad in your life!

For All the Dads

Our dad holds a special place in our heart. He’s always loved spending special one-on-one time with each of us, bringing us to basketball games, the driving range and even to McDonald’s to enjoy an ice cream cone. But Father’s Day also has us, of course, wanting to celebrate all the other dads in our life, including our step dad, grandfathers and our husbands who are amazing fathers to our little ones. We cherish these special men in our lives, and appreciate how they carve time out of their schedules to make us all feel special and loved, so we want to show the love right back to them this holiday.

This Father’s Day, let’s celebrate all the dads in our lives, and shower them with affection and show them how much they matter to us, with our brand-new Jerky & Beer Pairing Party!
