Festival only Beer and Hot Sauce

Fire extinguisher Pilsner

What would Nevermore Hot be without a way to save your mouth? We push limits, sure—but even the bravest heat-seeker needs a little mercy. That’s where our legendary thirst-quencher returns to the rescue. Last year’s smash-hit, flame-fighting, pain-soothing, easy-drinking, festival-exclusive pilsner—Fire Extinguisher—is back for round two. Crisp, cold, and brewed with the sole purpose of putting out the fire you willingly started. Whether you’re gasping for relief or just craving a damn good beer, Fire Extinguisher has your back, your tongue, and your taste buds. Grab one, cool off, and live to burn another day.

Jepson's Paw Paw Sauce

We met Jepson, the brewery cat, while planning the first Nevermore Hot in 2024, immediately adopted her as an honorary member of the Spice Crew, and dedicated this sauce to her.

For this special sauce we turned to the exotic flavor of North America’s hidden gem—the pawpaw. It’s tropical sweetness reminiscent of mango and banana blends seamlessly with creamy coconut milk. This, added to the fiery punch of red habanero peppers, savory garlic, and sweet onions creates a flavor that’s impossible to resist. You won’t be able to keep your paws off one taste!

AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY ON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21st AT NEVERMORE HOT AT PEABODY HEIGHTS BREWERY
