MEET PATRICK BERESFORD
The Man Behind the Heat
Patrick Beresford, the mastermind behind our fiery sauces, has a remarkable story that started with a love for hot sauce during his recovery from a spinal injury in Brisbane, Australia.
From this humble beginning, our brand has soared to worldwide recognition, clinching prestigious awards for the past 4 years. Patrick's unique talent lies in his ability to expertly balance flavours and heat levels in each handcrafted sauce, leaving fans astounded by his passion-infused creations.
Hailing from Australia, but deep-rooted love for American food culture shines through in his sauces. With meticulous attention to detail and authentic style our sauces have earned high praise from critics all over the world, and with that, Patrick embarked on the creation of his signature "13 Angry Scorpions," a sauce that has taken the industry by storm.
Since our launch in 2017, our range of 8 distinct sauces has garnered widespread acclaim, from intense Louisiana heat to milder, family-friendly BBQ flavours. Aged to perfection, each sauce features a blend of chili peppers and vinegar aged up to 2 years, resulting in deep, rich flavors that elevate any dish. Made with some of the freshest, locally sourced ingredients, our sauces offer a premium, internationally renowned taste experience that has impressed A-list celebrities on the show Hot Ones (in Brooklyn, NYC) and international food critics alike.
There are several levels of heat to suit everyone in the family, from mild barbecue to the almost nuclear Carolina Reaper. This is definitely a staple pantry item and can be used in any culinary cuisine and should have a place in every pantry in Australia and beyond.

Together, the 13AS Family will continue to spice up the world with our passion and dedication, igniting flavours and forging connections that transcend boundaries and bring people together through good food.
