Carolina Brewery Introduces New Western Carolina BBQ Sauce

Pittsboro/Chapel Hill, NC - March 24, 2026 - Carolina Brewery is turning up the heat this spring with the launch of its newest product: Western Carolina BBQ Sauce, a bold and tangy addition to its growing lineup of scratch-made sauces and rubs. Inspired by the rich barbecue traditions of North Carolina, this latest release offers a refined take on a regional classic.

Evolving the classic apple cider vinegar base, enhanced with a touch of tomato and a proprietary blend of spices, the Western Carolina BBQ Sauce delivers a smooth, balanced flavor profile. The result is a vibrant, red sauce with a signature “Carolina zing” and just the right hint of sweetness.

“North Carolina barbecue is all about tradition and flavor, and we wanted to honor that while creating something uniquely Carolina Brewery,” said Robert Poitras. “This sauce brings together the tang and depth people love, and it pairs perfectly with both classic barbecue dishes and our craft beers.”

The versatile sauce is ideal for ribs, pulled pork, smoked chicken, and burgers, and pairs especially well with the brewpubs’ menu favorites like new BBQ Smoked Pork Plate, BBQ Smoked Pork Mac & Cheese, and their signature wings. Whether used for backyard grilling or elevated comfort food, it delivers a bold, tangy finish. The launch comes just in time for the return of Carolina Brewery’s popular seasonal Sky Peach Kolsch this spring.
