The Best Seller Is the Traditional One
Hard Times keeps its range simple, and the Original is the anchor: traditional beef jerky in a 2.25oz zip-top pack, positioned by the brand as the flavour for anyone and everyone — and its best seller. Where the Teriyaki bends the recipe toward sweet-savoury, the Original is the straight traditional chew the brand's reputation rides on. Browse the brand on the Hard Times vendor page, or see the range in our sodas and snacks collection.
Tasting Notes
Traditional jerky character: savoury and beef-forward, and — per the reviewer consensus — dry, tough and thin in the old-fashioned style rather than soft mass-market jerky, with no glaze and no gimmicks: the flavour the rest of the Hard Times range is measured against.
How to Enjoy
Straight from the resealable pack, anywhere — and it stands up to a whiskey pour as well as any bar snack. Reseal the zip top and it stays fresh for the next round. More snacks are in our sodas and snacks collection.
