Coming Soon? Minnesota Hot Sauce Maker Teasing New ‘Mild’ Sauce

Who knew Minnesotans were fans of hot sauce? Craig did. Cry Baby Craig's Hot Sauce is teasing a new hot sauce flavor that might pique the curiosity of even the staunchest Minnesotan's palate. Craig hinted that the new flavor would be coming soon, but how soon is that?

Cry Baby Craig's Hot Sauce Is Made In Faribault

Craig Kaiser, the man behind the hot sauce, kind of got his start by accident. According to the business's website, it all began with a wrong order where instead of jalapeños, Craig received habaneros. Not sure what to do with the spicy pepper, Craig "pickled them until [he] could think of something to do with them."

Then, according to the hot sauce lore, "One slow service night, Craig decided to make a hot sauce with the chilies for their annual 'family meal' cookout. It didn't take long for that first batch to disappear!"

The rest, they say, is history, at least in terms of the hot sauce.

In 2019, Craig moved his operation from the Twin Cities to Faribault, where he now operates on Central Ave.

New Flavor On The Way

Cry Baby Craig's over the weekend posted that it was working on a new flavor, and those of us who aren't fans of hot sauce might like the news. According to Cry Baby Craig's, a mild sauce is coming soon.

"I am so excited to bring you guys a new sauce! Will it be milder? Yes. Will it bring hella flavor to your next meal? Hell yes! For those who want to put sauce on their food like other hot sauce users but haven’t found a mild, delicious sauce to fill that need, look no further! Release date coming soon!"

Are those Hatch peppers in the photo?

The post was vague on when it will be released, but if I had to guess, I would think an official release can't be far away.
