American craft beer brand, Voodoo Ranger has partnered with Bull’s-Eye hot sauce to add some serious heat to American Independence Day (4th July) this year. The brands are teaming up to offer a limited-edition menu at Little Creatures bar and brewery in King’s Cross, ‘Rangerous Rib’ kits through the Voodoo Ranger website for those who can’t make it down to the venue, as well as giving Voodoo Ranger’s on-trade stockists a free pack of Kentucky Habanero hot sauce.
Since its UK launch last November, Voodoo Ranger has gone from strength to strength, with the brand already having secured major UK supermarket listings with Waitrose and Ocado as well as on-trade listings in over thirty venues across the UK.
Available throughout July, the “Live Rangerously” menu at Little Creatures, will feature lip-smacking ribs using a variety of Bull’s-Eye’s bold sauces – with an option to pick your spice level – served up with a pint of Voodoo Ranger Hazy IPA*(5.3% ABV) to wash it down. Meanwhile pubs and bars stocking the craft beer will receive a free pack of Bull’s Eye Kentucky Habanero hot sauce to either serve as part of their food menu or Live Rangerously adding the ultimate hot shot to their drinks’ menu. The ‘Rangerous Hot Shot’ combines a few dashes of the Habanero hot sauce with a shot of whisky, which is dropped into the Hazy IPA… bottoms up!
Chris MacRae, Voodoo Ranger Brand Developer, said: “It’s great to be working with a brand like Bull’s-Eye where we can have a bit of fun bringing both brands to life with a seriously tasty limited-edition menu and a cheeky ‘hot shot’ idea. This summer is going to be an important one for the hospitality industry as restrictions lift and life gets back to normal, and our hope is that this campaign not only gets our brand out there but allows publicans and bar managers to offer something a bit different to their customers.”
