Almost of the year's peppers are in and our kitchen smells like fall. This month’s micro batches are all about autumn flavors.

We first cooked up Maple Wood Smoked Onion Hot Sauce in 2015, back when Vermont’s own Bernie Sanders was running for president. We called the sauce Feel the Bern and donated a portion of sales to his campaign. By the time the campaign ended, the sauce had taken on a life of its own. Folks bought it the first time for the politics, but they came back for the flavor.

We’ve got some new swag to show off - our newest BBVT shirts and first full-zip hoodies! Designed by the amazing Beenanza Designs up in Burlington, they’re bold, cozy, and feel so us. Seeing people snap them up at the NYC Hot Sauce Expo last weekend gave me a serious thrill - like sending our fans home wrapped in BBVT love.
