Happy New Year and Happy First Taco Tuesday of 2026 🌮🔥
We’re kicking off the year with some huge milestones at Elixir Sauce Co, and we wanted you to be part of the celebration.
🏭 We Opened Our New Elixir Production Facility
We’re officially up and running in our new Elixir production facility, and it’s a game changer. This expansion more than doubles our production capacity, allowing us to keep up with growing demand, stay fully stocked for our retail partners, and continue crafting every bottle with the same care and heat you expect from us.
This move sets the tone for an exciting year ahead — more sauce, more events, and more ways to bring the heat.
🌮 Taco Tuesday at Hop Mountain — January 20th
Speaking of events, our first Taco Tuesday of 2026 is officially on the calendar — and it should be on yours too. Let’s celebrate the right way: tacos, hot sauce, and good company.
Taco Tuesday
📍 Hop Mountain Tap Room & Grill
📅 Tuesday, January 20th
⏰ 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM
📍 14017 N Newport Hwy
We’ll be on site with Elixir sauce samples, raffle prizes, and plenty of reasons to make this your Taco Tuesday stop.
☕ Retailer Highlight: PNW Espressgo
We love watching small businesses grow, and PNW Espressgo is one of those full-circle stories that makes this community special.
PNW Espressgo is a locally owned and operated food truck, serving up delicious espresso beverages. We first met them two years ago at the Spokane Valley Farmers Market, where they told us their dream was to someday open a brick-and-mortar location.
This past November, they made it happen.
You can now visit PNW Espressgo at their new home:
📍 12709 E. Mirabeau Pkwy, Building B, Suite 50
📍 Spokane Valley
If you haven’t stopped by yet, do yourself a favor — great coffee, great people, and all of your favorite Elixir Sauce Co hot sauces available to try on their food as well as purchase, and a great example of local hustle paying off.
