Hi there,

What happens when four hot sauce makers apply for a trademark? That's not the start of a bad joke but the topic of the latest Craft Hot Sauce podcast!

I interviewed several hot sauce makers, and we all spoke about our past experiences and lessons learned from registering a trademark for a hot sauce brand. Take a listen to this special episode of theCraft Hot Sauce podcast here.

I hate to say it, but next year is creeping up fast, and that means you should start planning to attend a Hot Sauce festival next year. One of our most popular posts is the World Calendar for the Hot Sauce and Chili Festivals, and we've updated it for at least the first half of 2019.

As many small-batch hot sauce makers ramp up work for the holidays, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone that has contributed, shared, and enjoyed our content over the past year. It's fun hearing their stories and trying their sauces.

Cheers,

Brian
