Grats Pex!

Congrats to All!

Nice and congrats to all!

Right on PexPeppers! Congrats! I found pexpeppers through this site like 4 years ago.. my love for superhots began around that time

Congrats to all the winners! Looks like I have some shopping to do. And hats off to the judges. I'm sure it was a difficult decision to make with so many fine sauces to choose from.

Fantastic, we are super stoked to take home another 7 Hot Pepper Awards (that makes 26 over the last 3 years!). Happy to see our Blueberry Plague snag a 1st as well. Congrats to all the winners, cant wait to try some of them out!
