Welcome to Hellraising Hot Sauce!

Welcome to hellraisinghotsauce.com!

For those who have been following our journey on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, it’s been quite a year. We officially launched our two-person operation in spring 2014, and since then we’ve spent pretty much all of our free time making and marketing our three gourmet hot sauces to the greater Twin Cities area and beyond.

It’s been an exciting ride, but it’s only the beginning — we love meeting and working with local restaurants, grocers, markets and hot sauce lovers to spread the word about Hellraising Hot Sauce.

Check back often to see where we’ve been, where we’re going, and what we’ve been up to. We’ll also post announcements about upcoming events, specials and promotions, and new products.

And be sure to send us your photos of how you’re using Hellraising Hot Sauce so we can post them right here!

In the meantime, feel free to poke around and check out our great new website courtesy of Rough Ride Creations — and don’t forget you can now order directly from the site and have delicious hot sauce delivered right to your doorstep!

Hellraising Hot Sauce at Heat Up Your Life

In October we had the opportunity to participate in Heat Up Your Life. This was the first year for the event, also the first time we had a booth for our product. We didn’t know what to expect, but it was a great day! About 12 local food producers took part; from hot sauce to barbeque sauce to sauerkraut to salsa to gourmet candies. Sampling everyone’s goods was a real treat, literally and figuratively.

The event took place in the parking lot of Bent Brewstillery — they were awesome hosts. We worked with the owner/creator of Nuclear Nectar to secure our spot in the lineup, and we shared a space with John from Artisan Minnesota. To go along with the “Heat Up Your Life” theme, Bent was pouring a special Ghost Pepper Stout that day.

It was the perfect fall day to drink some beer and enjoy the concoctions of our fellow local food creators. A few we knew from our own commercial kitchen (John, also Tony and Leslie from Isabel Street Heat), or just through word about town, but a lot of these folks we’d never heard of and it was a pleasure to meet them. It was great to connect and see what other delicious ideas are out there, and so close to home.

We’re looking forward to Heat Up Your Life returning for a second year (and third, and fourth, and fifth). Many thanks, Bent Brewstillery and Nuclear Nectar!
