Another year at Blaze For The Brave Blaze for the Brave has wrapped and while it is good to be back home, I always get emotional when I leave a place like Gettysburg.
Over the last two years I've been able to establish so many great new friendships, having met so many wonderful people, that when it's time to leave it's hard knowing it will be at least another year before we see each other again.
And this year was no different. Another amazing weekend as organized by Jayson Pettibone Late For Work, who had put on yet another great festival.
Unfortunately this year the event was bombarded by the Nor'easter that came barreling in unwanted on the Saturday, and completely washed out the Sunday. But alas, all League Of Fire events were finished and in the end it was another successful year building off what was started in 2025.
And hey, we won! Our Nashville North was selected best in the Extra Hot category, and for that we have our very first U.S. based award! How cool is that?
And so it goes, another year gone by. We said our goodbyes and head back home already looking forward to next year.
See you all back again in 2027, my crazy chili head friends from Canada's 11th Province! π

NEW VENDOR ALERT!
Cabbagetown, we are back! We'd like to thank Mark and Noah Michelin of St. Jamestown Steak and Chops for trusting in our product and carrying 5 of our best selling sauces in their awesome butcher shop and delicatessen.
We met Noah during the last few seconds of the Cabbagetown Festival just last weekend and he asked if we would be interested in stocking our hot sauces in their shop. Of course the answer was an immediate yes!
So please go check out their store and stock up on everything you will need for the Fall Barbecue season.

Picklefest 2026 is just a week and a half away, and we are excited to announce our third anniversary edition of our Dill Bomb!
In 2024 we announced the first edition of our Dill Bomb. A timeless piece that is one of our best selling sauces!
In 2025 we did the Dill B**r Bomb edition. Crisp and clean!
For 2026 we are happy to add the Dill GARLIC Bomb to the festivities!
This batch is three times loaded with garlic, so you'd better watch who you're close talking to after having it, cuz it's enough to scare vampires away!
And as is tradition, the heat is derived from Haunted Doll House and Hallows Eve peppers.
We've only made 70 bottles, and are exclusive to all customers.
Any bottles left over will be available online and at our markets. But I don't expect these to last that long. If you want a bottle, you'll need to get a ticket and see us then!
Picklefest Toronto runs October 3rd and 4th at Henderson Brewing at 128A Sterling Road, Toronto.
Tickets can be had at https://picklefestcanada.com
See you then stinky! π₯ π§

They are all stocked up on all our bangers, so please go check out their new storefront at 2130 Robertson Road, in Ottawa!
After this Saturday it will be "Check the E.R.!" cuz we're bringing the heat yet again to the nations capital!
We are back yet again for the "6th Annual Heating Up The Capital" hot sauce expo just outside of Ottawa, at Smokey Ridge Vineyard, as presented by .
This event holds a special place in our hearts as we won King Of Sauces back in 2021 with our Honey Garlic, and that was followed up with many first, second and third place showings since then over the last several years.
Did we win any new awards this year?! Well you will have to show up Saturday to find out!
The event runs 10am until 5ish this Saturday, and there you can sample from 30+ hot sauce companies, try jalepeno b**r, jump into a spicy challenge or two, or just soak in the sun as it's going to be a gorgeous day!

These sauces are heading down to Palm Coast, Florida, and into the hands of our new friend Richard Bryson of Swindle Sauce.
Been seeing his stuff pop up all over the place, winning a ton of awards and kicking ass down in the U.S..
His sauces look amazing so we had to get in contact with him and do a swap. And thankfully the feeling was mutual!
Thanks Rich, very much looking forward to trying out your stuff!

Now that we're back home and rested, time to thank a bunch of people for what was an unbelievable experience this past weekend in Nicolet, Quebec for the 2026 Festifeu, hot sauce expo.
Firstly, thank you to organizer Jasmin Hamel .de.feu (first slide) and his team for inviting me to Festifeu and putting on one helluva show. I was completely blown away by the organization and ex*****on of what is probably the biggest hot sauce festival in Canada. It's been a festival I've always wanted to experience and I cannot thank him enough for personally inviting me to take part, with a specific request to come and be handed "Grand Champion du Canada" after having won their inaugural Canadian Hot Sauce Awards. The onslaught of customers waiting for me at my booth after the announcement is something I will never forget.
Thank you to all the customers who were patient with me and allowed me to make a few mistakes as I took you through my sauces and my very limited French! I was told my French was very good many times, and that certainly helped my confidence as the weekend went on. Merci beaucoup!
And on that note, an extra special thanks for Guillermo Pi Lajes (second slide) for volunteering to be my personal translator and second wing during the busiest time of the weekend on Saturday. Without his help I could not have survived that wave of customers wanting to sample and buy our products. He was a rock star to the enth degree and I cannot thank him enough.
And finally, a thank you to all the staff and volunteers who welcomed me with open arms and continuously told me they were honoured that I took the time to make the trip and attend the festival. Believe me, the honour was all mine. You were all so amazing, I cannot wait to see you all again next year.
And on that note, my first ever Festifeu is in the books. To those that have not attended...all I can say is you need to experience this event. It's almost impossible to put into words. The closest I can get is "it was incredible".
Au revoir Nicolet, until we see each other again!
