About

Carlsbad Gourmet crafts artisan sauces and condiments from a retail shop at 5702 Paseo Del Norte in Carlsbad, adjacent to the Carlsbad Flower Fields entrance. As a licensed Stone Brewing Co. partner, the company produces beer-infused BBQ sauces and mustards that bridge the craft-beverage and condiment categories, placing it in the same artisan-production lane as Carlsbad Brewing Company in the Village. The strawberry line — including strawberry hot sauce, strawberry lavender jam, and chocolate-dipped strawberry sundaes at the retail counter — draws on proximity to the Flower Fields and their 50-acre ranunculus crop along Paseo Del Norte. Seasonal foot traffic from the Carlsbad Premium Outlets and the Flower Fields funnels through the Paseo Del Norte corridor, where the shop stocks gift boxes and sampler sets of its artisan sauces in a curated specialty-food format echoed by the imported-goods selection at Trader Joe's on El Camino Real. The Stone Brewing Arrogant Bastard BBQ Sauce blends the brewery's flagship ale with habanero, chipotle, and roasted garlic into a slow-cooked reduction bottled on-site at the Paseo Del Norte facility.
