Smoke Show
 |
Hot Sauce |
Smoke Show began not with a vision, but with a hangover. Founded in Montreal in 2015 by Dave Rose, Smoke Show was born on what was supposed to be a lost day after a long night out. After picking up some jalapeños on the way to his parents house, his brother Nick waited for him with ribs in a smoker, unaware that all of these factors would conspire to create a National food brand built on serendipity and smoked jalapeños. In a moment of fraternal telepathy, Dave and his brother Nick put the jalapeño peppers in the smoker before blending them into sauce. They immediately realized this changed everything and quickly began brainstorming their first product: the cult-classic Smoke Show Jalapeño Hot Sauce. The unique flavour profile of smoked jalapeños, maple syrup, and smoke created enough local buzz and sales for Dave to leave his busboy job and expand the Smoke Show line-up to over 10 products and are now located in over 500+ retailers across Canada. We created Smoke Show out of our own passion for food and spicy sauce, and out of a desire to add a flavour-packed condiment with a hint of smokiness to every dish! |

Springs Fireplace
|
Hot Sauce and Salsa |
Springs Fireplace is our brand of hot pepper products that was born out of our travels to various places around the world. As farmers, we want to introduce people to new varieties and flavors. We want to teach people about where these foods come from and be curious about the cultures and people that originally cultivated them. The flavors and heat are unique and we think you will enjoy them. Food can transport us through taste. This is the beauty of Springs Fireplace hot sauces and salsa. When you taste them, like a good story, you want more. And like a good story, you are brought to another place and are curious to know more. We source our seeds from Farmers who pass on their story in this way and each sauce weaves together another culture with ours. The rare and uncommon peppers we use trace history and bring to the table stories and flavors bright and rich. Enjoy our sauces, tell your tale, they are meant to be shared over and over again. -Greg and Lauren |

Grumpy Ginger
 |
Food Products |
Hello! I'm Sue Ann, founder of Grumpy Ginger. Like many Malaysians, food is what I miss most about home. I’ve been living in the US for over a decade, and each time I travel back from Kuala Lumpur my bags are so stuffed with herbs and spices I struggle to get them under the plane’s weight limit. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve found myself cooking in search of a piece of home. Food was how my parents expressed their love, and I’m no different. I’ve converted Jackson’s American palate so he asks for curry instead of pasta for dinner, an achievement I’m especially proud of. Malaysian food is far less well known than other Asian cuisines in the US. I hope Grumpy Ginger can help spread the word. The combo of waft-worthy flavor and simplicity make it hard to beat - but I'll let you try it and decide for yourself! |

Since our first batch in 1992, our goal has been to make the best tasting beer we can. We believe that traditional processes have a place in the modern brewery. While much of our protocol extends the time from kettle to glass, we continue to practice these long established techniques because the beer deserves it. Respected beer is tasty beer. |
