Hey Friends,

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.

Last weekend we vended for the very first time at the New York Hot Sauce Expo. I’ve been going for years as an attendee, but this time we finally took the plunge to set up shop - and wow, was that the right call. It ended up being our biggest one-day event ever, with a sale every 2.5 minutes (even while battling some "fun" tech issues). Maple Wood Smoked Onion and Taco Vibes Only were our hot sauce all-stars, while Mulled Cider and Salted Bourbon caramel kept the sweet tooth crowd happy.

I love going to events like the NYC Expo and the New England Hot Sauce Festival. It's where we meet our core fans - folks who tell us the stories of how BBVT has become part of their meals, celebrations, and everyday routines. Those connections mean the world to me.

Now we’re back in Barre and busy with some exciting holiday projects. All of these should be ready to launch in November, so keep an eye out!
🔥 Hot Sauce Sampler Pack (finally!)
🐐 A new extra-special seasonal caramel flavor
🔥 Rum Barrel Fermented Smoked Jalapeño fermenting away
🍦 Barrel-aged vanilla extract is getting underway

I'm also contemplating the ins and outs of setting up a brand ambassador program, so let me know if you have any suggestions or ideas! It’s going to be a fun Q4. Stay tuned - there’s plenty more flavor coming your way soon.

Check out this fantastic Spicy Instant Pot BBQ Pulled Pork from Kiersten Hickman. Maple Rum Chipotle would be my first pick for this, but Maple Wood Smoked Onion, Taco Vibes Only and Mellow Vibes Only would all be fantastic as well.
