Facepunch
Punch your next meal with award-winning flavor.


Facepunch Hot Sauce will knock your socks off! This local company evolved over many years as a family affair: growing, cultivating, and bonding while making small batch hot sauces for themselves and friends. Finally, in 2017, Mark Petersen launched Facepunch commercially into the fanatical foray of hot sauce. His family of 4 unique hot sauce varieties strikes a perfect balance of flavor and heat.

Why We Love Them
Bold flavors, high-quality
Facepunch believes that bold flavors bring people together. And man, is that true! Their products are made with the highest-quality ingredients, packed with flavor, and designed to make every meal unforgettable. Our featured flavor is Hot Banana Pepper. It is relatively mild, but oh so flavorful! We especially love it on salads and sandwiches. Naturally neon yellow in color, it is bright, and tangy with only a pinch of heat.
Meet the Maker
Mark Petersen
I started making hot sauce 20 years ago, and now I am making it into a hot sauce brand! I have 5+ different hot sauce flavors to try…red Fresno, green jalapeno, hot banana pepper, and Thai chili hot sauce, a hotter blend of habaneros and Carolina Reapers called Project X-Reaper Edition, and make the sauce for Mancini’s at the MN State Fair! You can also find the sauces at The Barber Mug, your local St Paul, MN, barber shop!!!
Facepunch also offers Dry BBQ rubs with a 2021 Golden Chile award winner in the 6 Pepper Seasoning!
