About Newks Hot Sauce

Newk’s Hot Sauce was born in Portland, Oregon in 2020, after founder Jake Newcomb launched a Kickstarter campaign that hit its goal in under 24 hours. Known for bold ingredients and inventive flavors, Newk’s has grown into a nationwide brand — partnering with 90+ retailers and showing up at over 200 live events a year. Each sauce is crafted in small batches with high-quality ingredients — no filler, just flavor that hits hard. Their 2023 collaboration with Grillo's Pickles quickly became a top seller, while other collabs with brands like Chocolate Skateboards and various bands keep Newk’s rooted in underground art and music culture. Newk’s Hot Sauce has been featured in national tasting boxes like Bespoke Post, Fuego Box, and Heat Hot Sauce Box — helping get their flavors out into thousands of new customers every year and continuing to grow the brand.Read their story
