Imagine, if you will, finding yourself at a backyard barbecue where the stakes are as high as the flags are flying. The grill is sizzling, the laughter is infectious, and the air is filled with the sweet scent of freedom (and a touch of charred meat). It’s the sort of shindig where veteran-owned brands belong would feel right at home.

Now, let’s set the scene a bit more: Uncle Sam is manning the grill, Lady Liberty is mixing up some bourbon cocktails, and the Bald Eagle is, well, probably eyeing your bacon-wrapped anything. It’s an all-American feast fueled by grit, grilling, and grunting.

Sounds sweet, right?

Enter the Military Made x Grunt Style Bourbon, Bacon & Freedom Box: a carefully curated gift box that’s so patriotically perfect, it might just make a Founding Father shed a tear of pride (or is that just BBQ sauce in George Washington’s eye?). It’s the perfect holiday gift for that hard-to-shop patriot on your list this holiday season.

You can pre-order it right now. Boxes will be shipped on November 27, 2023.

Let’s meet the veteran entrepreneurs and their mouthwatering products that make this box a must-have for anyone who takes their meat as seriously as their patriotism. And remember: it’s not just about indulging in phenomenal flavors; it’s about supporting a cause that’s as noble as a 21-gun salute. So, let’s dive in, shall we?

1. Battle Tested BBQ

Sauce so good, it should be classified

Meet Mike Otis, the Air Force vet turned BBQ sauce maestro behind Battle Tested BBQ. With 22 years of service and a secret family recipe as old as Uncle Sam, Mike’s BBQ sauce is a tango for the taste buds. Each bottle is a sweet, smoky, and tangy tribute to his dad, a World War II Army vet, and the cherished family tradition of keeping the recipe as guarded as Area 51.

Our Verdict: If you’re looking to impress at your next backyard BBQ, this sauce is the culinary equivalent of a salute from a five-star general.

2. Grill Your Ass Off

Mmmmmmm…. did you say steak seasoning and beef jerky?!? 

Jason Murff, a former Army infantryman and the grill sergeant behind Grill Your Ass Off, knows that the best way to a patriot’s heart is through their stomach. That’s why Grill Your Ass Off makes some of the best jeryk and steak seasoning out there. And let’s be honest, who wouldn’t want to season their steak with a blend called “Ma Deuce”? This Texas-based brand is serving up flavors as big as the Lone Star State, all while giving back to veteran organizations.

Our Verdict: If you believe laughter is the best medicine, and BBQ is a close second, then these seasoning blends and jerky are your prescription for a good time.

3. Battleground Farm

Sip, sip, hooray for booze innovation!

And let’s not forget the the Battleground Farm BARREL.338 Bourbon Finishing Bullet, which is also included in the Military Made x Grunt Style collab. This genius hooch innovation was developed by a Sgt. Tex Morris, a U.S.M.C. combat veteran, modeled after the .338 Lapua sniper round. It makes bourbon or whiskey smoother, adding top shelf notes to your favorite adult beverage.

Our Verdict: If you’re in search of a bourbon accessory that’s as legendary as the .338 Lapua sniper round and adds a top-tier finish to your drink, you’ve found your match in the BARREL.338 Bourbon Finishing Bullet.
