We have 8 "big" flavors of hot sauce that are available year round and in stores. All other flavors are made in small ever changing 24-150 bottle batches on our stove. If you like a microbatch flavor, buy a lot, because it might never be made again. It's fun to keep you on your toes that way.

The hot sauces all come in those standard 5oz hot sauce bottles. As for ingredients, these are all vinegar based hot sauces with no gums or fillers. The ingredients (besides Vermont grown peppers, organic white vinegar and salt) are generally right there in the title. Send us a quick email if you need more specific details on a given flavor.

The Micro Batches:

#1931 Scape Sauce - This is not actually a hot sauce as it contains no heat or peppers. I make it just like I make the hot sauces, but with garlic scapes instead of peppers (scapes are the lovely green curly cues that grow above ground on a garlic plant). The vibrant garlic flavor of the part of the garlic plant that farmers usually turn back into the soil makes for a thick and versatile sauce. 🚫🔥

#1957 So Not Hot Sauce - So Not Hot Sauce is made with a habanada pepper, which has all the flavor of a tropical burn-your-face-off pepper, but with none of the heat. So you feel like you'll get kicked in the face, but then... you don't! Kind of like if Lucy actually left the ball there for Charlie. 🚫🔥

#2002 Beer Pickle - Queen City Brewery's Argument IPA provides a hoppy balance to the Vermont dill, garlic, and jalapeños. This medium hot sauce is excellent with fish & chips, burgers and giant salads. 🔥🔥🔥

#2003 Cucumber Jalapeno Lime - Our Cucumber Jalapeno Lime Hot Sauce will brighten up any dish. It makes a great marinade or quick soup addition. It tastes great on avocados or as a dipper for grilled shrimp. 🔥🔥🔥

#2004 Ghost Verde Jerk - This is a lively and complex sauce with notes of allspice and cinnamon. the ghost peppers take the jalapeño heat up a notch while the smoked onion and Vermont maple syrup round the sauce out. It's great with sandwiches, chicken and fruit. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

#2008 Smoked Onion Red Poblano - Sometimes you want full flavor with just a touch of heat. We blended fully ripe red poblanos with smoked red onions for a mellow take on our most popular Maple Wood Smoked Onion Hot Sauce. this sauce is great in soups, on pizza, and with burgers. 🔥

#2009 Ginger Lime Montpeculier Mule - Inspired by a Moscow Mule cocktail and our own peculiar town, this ginger lime jalapeño hot sauce is made with Montpelier's Bar Hill Gin from Caledonia Sports. It goes wonderfully with avocados, spring rolls and grilled fish. 🔥🔥🔥

#2010 Fermented Jalapeno Ginger Garlic - A nice bit of ferment plus ginger, garlic and maple richness makes this a perfect sauce for noodle stir fries and pork dumplings. The layers of flavor also go great with rice and squash. 🔥🔥🔥

The Exception to the Rule

We make special, exclusive batches of hot sauce for The Alchemist (maker of Heady Topper - one of the world's best IPA's). This used to be only available at The Alchemist's shop, but they are now letting us hold back a limited number of cases for sale on our website. These are only available until they run out and then won't be back until the next batch that we make for The Alchemist (usually every 1-2 months).

Red Heady - (AKA Heady Pepper Owner's Reserve) This is a hot sauce that we make specially for The Alchemist. We’ve crafted a custom blend of Vermont jalapenos and habaneros which mix beautifully with Heady Topper’s bright hoppiness and together deliver you right up to hop sauce heaven. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
