Our Story
Life is Better Spicy was founded in Calgary, Alberta. Our journey began with a sombre event on June 22nd, 2020, a day that altered my life indefinitely. It marked my final overdose following an almost twenty-year struggle with alcohol and stimulant abuse. The substances had nearly triumphed. After a hospital stay to evaluate the repercussions of the stroke and near heart failure from the overdose, I discovered my sense of taste had significantly diminished. During the rehabilitation process, the specialist I consulted with informed me that my sense of taste may never return, luckily this was not the case. In the weeks that followed, I started to notice a hint of hot sauce and could definitely feel the burn. I underwent residential addictions treatment here in Calgary, where the meals were nutritious and top-notch, yet my taste buds were limited to only extreme sour, sweet, or spicy tastes. I started exploring the hottest sauces available online and noticed the very limited options for Canadians to add some spice to their lives with locally produced hot sauce.
Upon completing the program and returning to daily life after treatment, I began my spicy journey by making a small batch of homemade serrano pepper salsa. It was much spicier than typical store-bought options, but the flavour was exceptional, perfectly balanced with the heat. Life Is Better Spicy was off and running. Looking ahead to 2024, Our mission will stay true to the first few batches ever created, providing a variety of unique flavours crafted with passion, while maintaining a high flavour-to-heat ratio in all of our products. (Even if they are hot enough to ruin your day)
Local pick up is the preferred method, but local Calgary delivery is available, and we are now offering Alberta/local shipping, please email/messsage for shipping quotes!
Let customers speak for us
from 31 reviewsThis is so yummy! We love tossing it on wings or adding to honey garlic stir fry. It’s a pantry staple for sure.
I could actually drink this on it’s own it’s so good!!
The flavours in this sauce go with almost everything and I've already consumed more than two bottles of this since it was released. Great sauce!
If you like dill, this is is a must-try sauce. It packs significantly more punch than its little brother sauce, Dillapeno.
This is one of the most flavorful sauces in the lineup and is my family's favorite. The sweetness of the Maple pairs so nicely with the mild heat from the peppers. This is a perfect accompaniment to any food.
One of the nicest hot sauces I've ever had, the flavour is big without being overpowering. The heat feels like just enough kick - approachable without being unpleasant.
I particularly liked it with pizza, but it went nicely with tortilla chips and nachos too.
Black garlic honey and dillapeno sauce is so delicious on chicken. I love the taste and love pickles.
Thought is was nice heat great with pasta meals I would get it again
Awesome flavor! Will be buying again before I run out.
JaMango is so good on chicken! Another great hot sauce!
This is probably one of the best tasting hot sauces i've ever had in my life. I'm a huge pickle fan, so the pickle mixed with the spice is next level. Keep doing EXACTLY what you're doing, guys! Customer for life.
Smokey, sweet, tangy, yum!! Love this with pizza especially, but a great sauce to spice up a myriad of things with!!
Great flavour, very pickle-y and fresh!! Quite enjoyed in some Lithuanian sauerkraut soup, can see this sauce elevating many more dishes!!
