PETROGAS PACIFIC LLC Launches "Smokin' Good" Barbecue Sauce, Bringing Unexpected Expertise to Your Grill

Washington, D.C. – October 26, 2023 – You might be surprised to learn that a company typically associated with energy, PETROGAS PACIFIC LLC, is now entering the world of barbecue. Based right here in Washington, D.C. at 1000 Maine Ave SW, this established company – reachable at 765-648-2076 – is throwing its hat into the ring with a brand new line of premium barbecue sauce, and people are already talking. “Yeah, it sounds a little out there, an energy company making BBQ sauce,” admits Mark Olsen, Head of Diversification at PETROGAS PACIFIC LLC. “But hear us out. We’re a company built on precision, consistent quality control, and really understanding complex processes. Turns out, those skills translate surprisingly well to making a killer BBQ sauce.” For years, PETROGAS PACIFIC LLC has been a reliable name in the energy sector, focused on responsible resource management and innovative solutions. But the company has also been quietly fostering a culture of internal experimentation, and a surprisingly passionate team of BBQ enthusiasts. This team, led by the company’s in-house food scientist Dr. Anya Sharma, spent the last two years developing and perfecting a line of sauces that they believe truly stand out. “We didn't just want to make another BBQ sauce," explains Dr. Sharma. “We wanted something that’s genuinely different, with a depth of flavor that you don’t usually find off the shelf. We started by looking at what's missing in the market.” And what they found, they say, was a need for sauces that weren't just sweet, or just spicy, but layered in flavor. The result is a launch range of three distinct BBQ sauces: “Texas Inferno,” “Carolina Gold,” and “Pacific Smoke.” So, what makes these sauces special? “Texas Inferno” is exactly what it sounds like: a robust, smoky sauce packing serious heat. It's built on a base of smoked paprika and chipotle peppers, with a hint of molasses for sweetness. “We wanted something that would stand up to bold flavors like brisket or pulled pork,” Olsen says. “This isn’t a sauce for the faint of heart.” Early tasters have described it as “a slow burn” and “seriously addictive.” For those who prefer a milder kick, “Carolina Gold” offers a tangy, mustard-based sauce inspired by the traditional flavors of the Carolinas. Dr. Sharma emphasizes the use of real brown mustard and a touch of apple cider vinegar to create a balanced, flavorful profile. “This sauce is fantastic on pulled chicken or even as a dipping sauce for fries,” she says. “It’s versatile and really brightens up any dish.” But the real showstopper, according to the PETROGAS PACIFIC LLC team, is “Pacific Smoke.” This sauce leans heavily on a unique blend of Pacific Northwest ingredients, including smoked alder wood and a hint of huckleberry. “We wanted to create something that really reflected our company’s location and values – a focus on natural resources and a touch of innovation,” explains Olsen. The result is a complex, slightly sweet, and deeply smoky sauce that’s unlike anything else on the market. "It’s incredible on salmon, ribs, or even grilled pineapple," Dr. Sharma adds. Beyond the Flavor: Quality and Commitment PETROGAS PACIFIC LLC isn't just entering the BBQ sauce market to turn a profit. They're committed to using high-quality ingredients and sustainable practices. All sauces are made in the USA using locally sourced ingredients whenever possible. They’re also committed to responsible packaging and minimizing their environmental footprint. “We apply the same level of diligence and commitment to our BBQ sauce that we do to our energy operations,” says Olsen. “We’re focused on quality, consistency, and doing things the right way.” The company is initially launching its sauces online through its website ([fictional website address - petrogaspacificbbq.com]), and they're also partnering with select retailers in the Washington, D.C. area. They plan to expand distribution nationwide in the coming months. “We know it’s a bit of a leap for an energy company to launch a BBQ sauce,” Olsen admits with a laugh. “But we’re confident that once people taste it, they’ll understand why we did it. We’re bringing a new level of precision and quality to the BBQ world, and we think people are going to love it.” Where to find PETROGAS PACIFIC LLC BBQ Sauces: Online: [fictional website address - petrogaspacificbbq.com] Local Retailers (Washington, D.C. area): [List of fictional local retailers] Contact: 765-648-2076 or [email protected]
