About Us
Our Story
THE BEGINNING...
- Beast Feast Maine started in 2007 with the concept of holding an annual wild game supper for sportsman and outdoor enthusiasts as a men's Christian outreach. I created a honey ginger sauce to enhance the flavor of wild duck and from there I started getting requests for it. As its popularity grew, I started producing more sauces for various wild game meats and fish. I started promoting the sauces for wild meats but as it gained popularity, and feedback was so positive for other meats, I then started promoting it for all meats, wild and domestic. Within a short time, the sauces started to gain momentum and my wife and I started doing craft fairs, county fairs, BBQ events, etc. We now produce 57 products and are in over 125 retail, specialty food stores, grocery stores, and meat and fish markets.
- Our sauces are very "clean" and appeal to every consumer because of it, they are not organic certified but contain many organic ingredients, most of my sauces and all of the rubs are gluten free.
- We now offer low sodium and sugar free sauces and rubs, the sugar free products are made with dried organic Stevia leaf, not the white refined, over the counter version. I boil the Stevia leaf and make a tea which I then "reduce" for my recipes.
- Our flavors are not like most other sauces, the flavor profiles are very unique, robust, and definitely not watered down; a little is going to go a long way. Our Maple Chipotle BBQ, made with organic MAINE Maple syrup is our best selling sauce and winner of a “Peoples Choice Award”. Pit Masters Best, the name says it all, pairs great with everything right down the line, sweet, zesty and a real "crowd pleaser". If you're a hot sauce fan we've got the sauce for you, from a mildly sweet heat to an awesome full flavored "burn", four flavors to choose from.
We are currently distributed in Maine and much of New England with the help of small, independent distributors and our online presence, www.beastfeastmaine.net, We have had the pleasure to ship coast to coast and as far away as the United Kingdom, Prague, and Denmark to name a few.
We began private labeling and offer co-packing for small producers of all sorts of sauce products. We are quite happy to say that we now produce our own products and others for 15 other companies.
Now a little about us, my bride and I are no spring chickens (but aren't "old" yet either) entrepreneurs, I've been self employed since age 22, first in the flooring industry and then I transitioned into the food industry. (I officially and completely retired from the flooring industry after 30 plus years in June of 2016). I've been a registered Master Maine Guide for 30 years (still licensed). I have always had a "slow burning" passion for cooking which is what brought me to my latest venture as a BBQ, hot sauce, marinade, and rub producer. My Bride has worked in retail, warehouse, and book keeping throughout the years while raising kids and taking care of family matters. While I get to "play with fire" on the grill and in the smokers, she runs the everyday business of operating the company.
