Boston Brisket Works
Premium Brisket Beef Jerky & Exotic Jerky, Handcrafted in Boston
Story
The Story
Boston Brisket Works is based out of Liberty Square in Boston, MA, led by President Jack Cunningham. What started as a premium beef jerky line has grown into one of the more distinctive small-batch jerky operations in the country — known as much for its exotic protein lineup as its brisket.
The Craft
How it's made
Every bag starts with 100% USA-sourced beef, hand-vacuum-sealed and artisanally marinated in small batches — not mass-produced, not outsourced. That hands-on process is what separates a $6 gas-station bag from something worth putting on a real shelf: no MSG, no nitrates, and a level of quality control that comes from staying small on purpose.
Every package carries the USDA stamp, which matters for more than just trust — it means the manufacturing plant carries the liability, not the retailer, and no special license or insurance is required to carry it in-store. That's one less barrier between "I like this" and "I can sell this."
