Brand Marketing Manager Craic Sauce

  • Date Posted May 29, 2022
  • Location Lowell, MA
  • Category Business / Media
  • Job type Part-Time
Company description From sourcing local ingredients directly from farmers, to fermentation and slow cooking, we pride ourselves on taking the harder yet more fulfilling and flavorful route to creating artisanal craft hot sauces that will enhance your everyday eating experiences.

Started with sparks of curiosity and community, Craic Sauce has a commitment to creating local sourced hot sauces with balance, depth and lots of fresh flavor. 

Craic Sauce founder Brian Ruhlmann discovered his passion for craft hot sauce after experimenting with his first batch using pumpkin, habaneros and golden ghost peppers grown in his Massachusetts garden. In 2014, after moving to Ireland, Brian started the website crafthotsauce.com, and interviewed inspirational hot sauce makers from around world for his podcast and blog.

Three years later in 2017, following his move back to the US, Brian took his obsession to the next level and began producing Craic Sauce, a collection of flavorful and unique hot sauces.

Craic (pronounced “crack”) is an Irish word that means good times and fun. Having good craic was the guiding light of his new business, a value that is still essential to Brian and his crew today, who make their small batch hot sauces by hand in Lowell, Massachusetts.
