The Family Recipe

The homemade recipe has been passed down through generations. Jim and Sue Potter, continuing the tradition, began making this delicious beer mustard recipe for their loved ones. Unlike most family recipes, the sauce must be cooked in large batches to consistently achieve its fantastic flavor. However, as friends and co-workers sampled the beer mustard they too quickly fell in love with its sweet and bold taste. Soon the demand was high and Sue and Jim just couldn’t keep up with “public” demand from home.

The Business Begins

So begins the Tailgaters Beer Mustard story. It took a lot of hard work and dedication, but it was all worth it when their first, commercially produced, batch of Tailgaters Beer Mustard rolled out! Turning to family and friends, who love the beer mustard so much, they asked for some help to spread the word. They started with the Original Flavor and have since added Hot, Garlic and most recently BBQ Sauce.

Today Tailgaters Beer Mustard is selling like hotcakes! It’s used in restaurants and available in stores from south Florida to Indiana.

Tailgaters takes pride in the wonderfully original and superior flavor of their sauces. We at Tailgaters Sauces, Inc. want to ensure our sauces are flavorful and keeps customers returning for more!
