I love supporting local businesses, especially when it's food and drink. We went to the 'Night Market' in Edgbaston (which is only about 20 stalls at this time of year) and it was mostly art - but thankfully Pips Hot Sauces had a stall and I was running low.
We also love Attic Brewery and frequently get their cans for home. I had not seen this combo, but it seemed perfect - if not a little on the red side.
I'm a brave boy so I turned down the trial cracker and just got a bottle. I'm more of a Nandos medium, and I'd say this is just a shade above a 'hot'.
I'm not sure where the X comes into it, but I suspect that she's using one of their vats to brew up some wickedness. I wonder if the beer they put in there after has a kick to it. Be fun to find out.
We had it initially with an all veggie meal - which really doesn't disperse the spiciness well. That said - it gives you a good idea of the heat and the flavours and I like it!
I reckon I could blend it into some cream or butter and make a wicked Buffalo style dipping sauce, and I already have tried it as a spicy mayo and that's perfect.
Once I've got through this I'm sure there will be plenty more to replace it with even if this may only be a limited run.
pips website is here but if yr local then Red Brick Market and other similar places have them
Attic brew is here, but again - if yr local just go over and drink in front of the tanks. Its more fun.
