Billy Franks Beef Jerky - Roast Beef & Mustard

Billy Franks beef jerky is a small-batch maker of eclectic beef jerky, based in London, England. The creation of computer programmer, Will Francis Yates, it's all hand made from rare breeds of indigenous cattle such as Red Devons, Angus, Dexters, Herefords, and Galloways from Cornwall and Scotland.

Yates gets his taste and love for smoked meats after having lived in Texas for a number of years. Billy Franks beef jerky collaborates with London's street-food sensation, "The Rib Man" to create a special line of "Holy Fuck" beef jerky, some of the hottest jerky around, which I'll be reviewing later.

This Roast Beef & Mustard beef jerky is described by Yates as, "40g of prime British beef flavoured with 3 types of mustard. just enough to tease the taste buds but not overpower the meaty Scottish beef we use."

Slantshack Jerky - Bronx Pale Ale

The newest flavor from SlantShack Jerky is this Bronx Pale Ale variety. See my previous reviews of their other flavors here.

Bronx Pale Ale is a popular brew made by Bronx Brewery of New York City, NY. As the story goes, the folks from SlantShack Jerky were sipping Bronx Pale Ale at a bar, and it just so happened that the Bronx Brewery team were at the other end of the bar trying some SlantShack Jerky. The bartender took notice of the coincidence and simply brought the two together, and just like that a new jerky flavor was born.

This Bronx Pale Ale jerky is made with a blend of the said brew along with Tin Mustard to create new jerky variety like none other. As with all their jerky flavors, SlantShack uses 100% grass-fed beef.
