Heartbeat Hot Sauce
A small-batch fermented hot sauce that layers real blueberries and fermented red habaneros with Forgotten Lake Blueberry Ale for a fruity, gently smoky heat — one of Heartbeat's best-known sauces and a Hot Ones favourite.
Sweet-tart blueberry up front, balanced medium habanero heat, a malty depth from the ale and a clean fermented tang.
Excellent on grilled pork, ribs, chicken wings, burgers, soft cheeses, tacos and roasted vegetables; also good stirred into a glaze or vinaigrette.
No major allergens in the listed ingredients.
Recipes change — always check the label before buying for an allergy.
Heartbeat Hot Sauce Co.
Heartbeat Hot Sauce Co. began in 2015 in Thunder Bay, Ontario, when its founders — then working in a restaurant — bought up the last of a local pepper farmer's crop and spent the fall and winter learning to ferment it as a way to preserve it. They fell for the red habanero, and word-of-mouth turned a home hobby into a full production company. Every sauce is still small-batch fermented, made with all-natural ingredients and no added water or preservatives, and developed, cooked, bottled and shipped from the South Core of Thunder Bay. Blueberry Habanero is a collaboration brewed with Forgotten Lake Blueberry Ale from a nearby brewery.

Earthy, woody and mushroomy, with the mild, gently nutty character of summer truffle — softer and less pungent than winter black or white truffle.
Rich, intensely savoury and umami-forward, led by rehydrated sun-dried tomatoes with a rounded sweetness, mellow garlic, herbal basil and a subtle nutty note from pine kernels and aged cheese.
Nutty, wheat-forward base from the germe di grano; a gentle, building chilli warmth rather than aggressive heat; faint earthy colour from red beet powder.
