In the mood to do even more local shopping? Check out the holiday specials at Franklin Avenue’s delightful neighborhood shops: Owl & Thistle General Store, Lily & Fig, Rosebud Vintage, The Candy Rush and About Time Boutique.

Don’t forget–LaunchPad is on the same block as some fabulous neighborhood shops, like Owl & Thistle General Store, Lily & Fig, Rosebud Vintage and The Candy Rush. Our friends at Owl & Thistle have put together some wonderful holiday gift baskets, featuring a variety of locally-made items (including some TPG products!).

We’ll be showcasing our festive new holiday spread, Pomapeño Preserves, and we invite you to come try some tasty samples in the spirit of the season. Of course, we’ll also be offering our popular favorites Chip on Our Shoulder and Honey, You’re Money.

“Built in Brooklyn” features handmade jewelry, greeting cards, food, gifts and clothing from LOCAL-AREA artisans (can’t get more “small business” than that!).

In honor of Small Biz Saturday, let us remind you that LaunchPad is on the same block as some wonderful small businesses, including Owl & Thistle General Store, Lily & Fig, Rosebud Vintage and The Candy Rush–stop by and check ‘em all out! And, if you’re in need of pampering, Posh Nails BK is offering some great specials.

We hope to see you there and, as always, please help us spread the word!

Our premier holiday spread, Pomapeño Preserves, is proving quite popular and we look forward to hearing from those of you who bought some. Please let us know how you used it and how it turned out (especially those of you using it in your holiday dishes!).

On that note, we’d like to wish everyone a very happy Thanksgiving and let you know how thankful we at TPG are to have all of you along on our journey.

Eat well!

We look forward to seeing you at Owl & Thistle (720 Franklin Ave.) tomorrow between 2PM and 6PM.

Stop by The Owl & Thistle between 2PM and 6PM this Sunday, November 20, for a taste and a smile!

Second, we are thrilled to announce that you can now find our sauces at Owl & Thistle General Store (720 Franklin Avenue) right here in Crown Heights!

Since our inception in 2009, we have enjoyed tremendous support from our local community, which makes our association with Keri at Owl & Thistle even sweeter. Her charming shop is full of wonderful local, green and fair-trade wares, including handmade jewelry from our good friends at Planet ert. Stop in and check it out!

Lastly, we’re excited to join our friends for another Built in Brooklyn CRAFT FAIR, the first of the fall season! Come out and see us at LaunchPad (721 Franklin Avenue) this Saturday, October 29, from 12 PM to 6 PM, rain or shine!

In product news, The Pour Gourmet recently debuted a new line of healthy snacks with our “Couch Potatoes” (handmade potato crisps with a sea salt and vinegar). We’ll be expanding our snack line in the near future and, as always, we look forward to your feedback.

The Built in Brooklyn Craft Fair will return Saturday, September 3, and we are planning a few other late summer/early fall dates, so stay tuned for updates!

We at The Pour Gourmet have to thank the thousands of Brooklynites, other New Yorkers and everyone else who came out for a fabulous day at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.

We had a stellar day of shmoozing, sampling and selling–in fact, we had sold out of all five of our sauce varieties by early afternoon and had a blast meeting dozens of new Pour Gourmet fans throughout the day.

Thank you again to everyone who came out and supported us!

There’ll be plenty of hot sauces, pickles and other fiery foods, plus live music and dance, spicy cooking demos by top NYC chefs and the cool “Chile Chocolate Takedown.”

That’s Saturday, October 2, from 12PM to 6PM, rain or shine!
