Nothing hypes heat like hops, which is why Two Roads Brewing Co. has collaborated with Alchemy Peppers to create a temptingly hoppy Road 2 Ruin “Hopp Sauce” using fresh Devil’s Breath pepper.
This medium-heat hot sauce is pure alchemy. Coming in at 20,000 Scoville, this sauce is comparable to the level of heat you’d find in an authentic sriracha. So even though Road 2 Ruin may not be for the timid – this sauce is for anyone looking for a little kick.
And hey – did you know that hops and peppers share many similarities? Their flavor profiles offer a diverse range of notes. Hops can be piney, citrusy, spicy, or dank, while peppers can exhibit flavors from tropical to earthy. This shared complexity makes them a perfect match.
So, when it came to choosing the ideal beer for this hot sauce, Road 2 Ruin, our big, hoppy Double IPA with plenty of bite, just made sense. Its robust hop character and balanced bitterness provide the perfect backdrop for the heat and unique flavor of the Devil’s Breath pepper.
Tempted to add a little kick to your meal? We recommend giving it a try on burgers, tacos, wings, or wherever the road less traveled takes you. We’ll even have it on-hand for you to try on campus – so you can spice up your meal from Two Roads Food Hall + Bar.
Road 2 Ruin Hopp Sauce is now available for purchase on campus and online at alchemypeppers.com.
