Ginger Goat
 |
Hot Sauce |
Ginger Goat was born out of a passion for spicy things with flavour. Founded in February 2021, it didn't take long for people to notice our sauce as we joined the famed lineup on the hit show Hot Ones just 3 months later. With our headquarters in Waterloo Region, ON, Canada, our products are all natural, free of thickeners, preservatives and excess salts. We believe in creating products with flavour above all...even if it still burns! Even though we've grown quickly, our commitment to the craft will never change. Small batch mentality and our attention to detail mean it doesn't get our 'headbutt of approval' until it's right and we happen to think your tastebuds will appreciate that. |

A hobby of making hot sauce for ourselves at home quickly ignited into a full fledged production company after word of mouth spread throughout our home town of Thunder Bay and beyond.

We ferment our peppers using traditional methods before we cook them with a few simple, high quality ingredients.

All of our recipes are proudly developed, cooked, bottled, packaged, and distributed from our dedicated facility in the South Core of Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. Our goal is to get Heartbeat Hot Sauce in to as many hands as possible, while maintaining our small batch process. A thank you from all of us at Heartbeat for your amazing support!
