PS Seasoning Fires Up National BBQ Month with Bold New Rubs and Sauces

Flavor-packed lineup taps into trending tastes and timeless grilling traditions just in time for summer

IRON RIDGE, Wis. – May 14, 2025 – PS Seasoning, a global flavor innovator, is celebrating National BBQ Month with a bold new lineup of BBQ rubs and sauces. With nearly 80% of Americans owning a grill or smoker, the launch comes just in time to fire up backyard get-togethers from Memorial Day and Father’s Day to the Fourth of July.

The new collection includes two original rubs inspired by global flavor trends, a reintroduced fan favorite, and a sauce based on one of PS Seasoning’s top-selling rubs. Each product is designed for versatility, adding bold, craveable flavor to ribs, burgers, pulled pork, chicken, burnt ends, vegetables, and more.

The full line-up includes:

  • Cherry Bomb BBQ Rub: A blend of cherry, smoky spices, and a kick of heat, inspired by the company’s best-selling Cherry Bomb BBQ Sauce.
  • Churro Dust BBQ Rub: A sweet, buttery blend of cinnamon sugar that brings the global churro trend straight to the grill.
  • Eye Opener BBQ Rub: A returning fan favorite with smoky ancho chilies, bold coffee, and a shot of bourbon, for those who like their BBQ with a bite.
  • Notorious P.I.G. BBQ Sauce: A juicy, sweet-with-heat blend of brown sugar, chipotle, and chili peppers, based on the best-selling rub of the same name.

“These new products reflect what we’re seeing in flavor trends—bold, nostalgic, and globally inspired tastes that make BBQ more fun and flavorful than ever,” said Gretchen Miller, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Communications for PS Seasoning. “Whether you're a backyard beginner or a seasoned pitmaster, our rubs and sauces are crafted to elevate the experience and bring people together around the grill or smoker.”

Developed by PS Seasoning’s expert team of food scientists, master meat crafters, and culinary professionals in the company’s state-of-the-art Culinary and R&D Center, these new products promise to elevate every grilling experience.
