Celebrate, Savor, and Stock Up – August at Edwards Meats

If you’ve been around Wheat Ridge for a while, you know Edwards Meats isn’t just a butcher shop—it’s part of the community’s story. This month, we were thrilled to be featured in the Neighborhood Gazette’s article Three Generations In, Edwards Meats Is Going Stronger Than Ever. It’s a wonderful look at how our family business started, how it’s grown, and the traditions we work hard to keep alive every single day.

We couldn’t be more proud of our incredible team, our loyal customers, and the work we put into making sure Edwards Meats is always worth the trip. Whether you’ve been shopping here for decades or you’re new to town, we want you to feel like you’re part of that story, too.

Why August is the Perfect Time to Shop

Let’s be honest—August can be a funny month. The big summer holidays are behind us, school is starting up again, and the first hints of fall are creeping in. But here’s the thing: this is one of the best months to fill your freezer, refresh your grilling menu, and try something new in the kitchen.

Football season kicks off this month with preseason games, and there’s nothing like a tailgate or backyard watch party to bring people together. It’s also still warm enough to enjoy those long evenings outside with the grill fired up. And when weeknight dinners get hectic during back-to-school season, a well-stocked freezer can be a lifesaver.

Cooking Ideas to Keep You Inspired

Whether you’re firing up the smoker, setting up the grill, or prepping a quick weeknight dinner, here are a few ways to make the most of your Edwards Meats haul:

Wisconsin Beer Brats – Simmer gently in beer with sliced onions, then finish on the grill until golden brown. Serve with sauerkraut and spicy mustard.
Pork Butt for Pulled Pork Sandwiches – Rub with a blend of paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then slow-cook until it falls apart. Toss in BBQ sauce and pile high on buns.
Bacon-Wrapped Filet Mignon – Sear for 2 minutes per side on high heat, then finish in a 400°F oven for 6–8 minutes, depending on doneness. Let rest before serving.
Teriyaki Skewers – Grill on high for 6–8 minutes, turning often, and serve over steamed rice with grilled pineapple.
Lean Ground Beef Special – Perfect for taco night, shepherd’s pie, or make-ahead meatballs for busy school nights.
