“Brother Bru-Bru’s is legendary,” says Craig Reinhart, maker/co-founder at Bend Sauce. “For years we have devoured this hot sauce at family gatherings and on the daily. It’s always in our fridge. Everyone loves this spicy creation made possible by Bruce Langhorne and his longtime collaborator Cynthia Riddle who has owned and led Brother Bru-Bru’s since 2009. While it’s sad that Bruce is no longer with us, we will honor his legacy and the brand that Bruce and Cynthia built with no changes planned. We are immediately ramping up production and hope to be able to fill orders by late-May 2022 for the summer BBQ season.”
