The new jerky flavor from the brand is reported to be sweet and boozy, and is made from premium ingredients including beer tenderloin. The jerky is handmade in California, is gluten-free and contains no nitrates, MSG or artificial ingredients whatsoever. The Three Jerks Filet Mignon Maple Bourbon Churro Jerky draws inspiration from artisan offerings that you might find at a farmer's market and comes packaged in a rustic butchers paper bag. This makes it feel more authentic and genuine when purchased rather than coming in a plastic bag or container. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Premium Meat Snacks:** Brands can innovate by using premium ingredients and offering unique flavors to appeal to consumers looking for high-quality, gourmet meat snacks. - **Artisan Packaging:** Brands can offer a more authentic and genuine feel to their products by using artisan packaging that is reminiscent of farmer's market offerings. - **Alcohol-infused Snacks:** There is an opportunity for brands to create snacks infused with various types of alcoholic beverages to appeal to consumers looking for unconventional flavor combinations. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Meat Snacks:** As the popularity of meat snacks continues to rise, brands can differentiate themselves by offering premium, gourmet options with unique flavors and packaging. - **Packaging:** There is an opportunity for packaging companies to create artisan, eco-friendly packaging for meat snacks and other food products to give them a more authentic and sustainable feel. - **Alcoholic Beverages:** Alcohol producers can expand into the snack industry by creating alcohol-infused snacks that appeal to consumers looking for unconventional flavor combinations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Steak-Like Jerky Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carnal-umami-cut-beef-jerky.md) - [Rip-and-Tear Beef Jerky Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cowboy-cut-beef-jerky.md) - [Cocktail-Flavored Meat Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/old-fashioned-meat-stick.md) - [Smoked Chicken Jerky](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smoked-chicken-jerky.md) - [Cheesy Snack-Flavored Beef Jerkys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jack-links-fritos-chile-cheese-jerky.md) - [Mango-Forward Beef Jerky Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mango-habanero-beef-jerky.md) - [Cannabis-Infused Beef Jerky](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-beef-jerky.md) - [Savory Artisan-Style Meat Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/country-archer-beef-jerky-snacks.md) - [Handcrafted Jerky Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smallbatch-jerky.md)
