Pleasant Burn Sauce Company is a small batch partnership based in Hillsborough, NC. Mark Waters and Corey Eshelman teamed up in 2015 to produce two hot sauces that had gained popularity with friends and family at their annual oyster roasts.
As popularity and interest grew, we quickly realized that we needed to step up to a commercial kitchen for production. The recommendation of a friend led us to Carly Erickson and her kitchen at Boro Beverage in Carrboro, NC. This introduction, along with Carly's willingness to share her knowledge and experience, have been a major catalyst in the growth and expansion of Pleasant Burn as a company.
All of the peppers used for our sauces are sourced from our personal gardens and local farmers markets. We try to use organic and non GMO as much as possible. We pride ourselves on producing our sauces from start to finish by hand, making the sauce in small batches to insure consistency and quality.
Pleasant Burn is a labor of love made by two lifelong friends that enjoy a passion for food and fermentation. We hope you enjoy our sauces, and thank you for supporting the burn.
Pleasant Burn Sauce Company is a small batch start up company based in Hillsborough, NC. The idea of making our sauce was born out of the need for hot sauce to set out our annual backyard oyster roasts. PBSC was oringinally founded in 2012 by Corey Eshelman. A few years later, his lifelong friend, Mark Waters, decided to officially help him, and joined the company in 2015. The two together have made many types of sauces, and a few were deemed worthy to be reproduced and refined. Soon, people were asking where to find the sauce for purchase. The OG and Citrus Reaper became our first production sauces, and so it all began.

Our OG is a vinegar based hot sauce made from a blend of Carolina Reaper, Habanero, and Tabasco peppers. The CR is a combo sweet and hot sauce with a nice reaper kick. The heat comes from a pepper blend is Habanero and Carolina Reaper. The sweet comes from fresh squeezed citrus juice with a touch of honey.
Pleasant Burn prides itself on its quality and unique taste. It is a labor of love made by two good friends that enjoy a passion for food, hot sauce and fermentation. You can taste the difference. We hope you enjoy all of our sauces, and thank you for supporting the burn.
