Craft Beer BBQ Sauces

Williams-Sonoma's Signature Sauces are Co-Branded with Local Breweries

— April 26, 2016 — Lifestyle
Lifestyle brand Williams-Sonoma recently released a range of craft beer BBQ sauces that were created in partnership with three US-based breweries. Launched in collaboration with Southern Tier, Boulevard and Shiner Bock, the Pale Ale, Pilsner and spiced beer sauces will appeal to experimental foodies with an appreciation for gourmet flavor pairings.

While Williams-Sonoma's Pale Ale sauce is infused with Southern Tier's Live Pale Ale blend -- mixed with cayenne hot sauce, whole grain mustard and applewood smoke flavoring -- its Shiner Bock sauce features the brewery's signature bottled blend.

The retailer's final craft beer BBQ sauce offering is a KC Pils sauce that is made with Boulevard's pilsner beer, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar and hickory smoke flavors. These co-branded sauces are sold in a three-piece set, making them a perfect gift for grill masters this summer.
