Master's Hand BBQ was founded in 2010 by Steve Beers in the heart of Fort Wayne, Indiana, marking the beginning of a family-owned venture rooted in generations of grilling traditions and hard work. After closing his construction business amid economic challenges, Steve turned to a passion project inspired by his daughter, Amanda. For over 25 years, he had been perfecting a family BBQ sauce recipe in his kitchen, sharing it with friends and family at backyard gatherings. Amanda's suggestion to turn this homemade favorite into a business sparked the creation of Master's Hand BBQ, transforming a personal hobby into a beloved brand dedicated to authentic, small-batch BBQ products.
From humble beginnings, our company has grown while staying true to its core principles. Steve's upbringing on a farm instilled values of diligence, quality, and respect for natural ingredients, which are evident in every product we create. We handcraft our small-batch BBQ sauces, seasonings, and bourbon-infused pickles in our Fort Wayne facility, ensuring each batch meets the highest standards. Unlike mass-produced alternatives, we produce everything in-house. This hands-on approach allows us to maintain control over every step, from sourcing premium, local ingredients to the final packaging, resulting in flavors that are bold, balanced, and unmistakably authentic.
At Master's Hand BBQ, quality and transparency are paramount. We commit to using only clean, premium ingredients, avoiding high fructose corn syrup, gluten, dairy, MSG, artificial smoke, nitrates, nitrites, and soy. Our recipes draw inspiration from time-honored pitmaster techniques, blending smoky essences with tangy twists for health-conscious BBQ enthusiasts. Whether it's our rich, clingy small-batch BBQ sauces ideal for ribs or our versatile seasonings that elevate everyday meals, every product is designed to deliver real results on your grill. What sets us apart is our family story and dedication to small-batch excellence in Fort Wayne BBQ.
Our journey extends beyond products; it's about building a community of BBQ lovers who value integrity and flavor. We've participated in local festivals, partnered with wholesalers nationwide, and connected with customers who share our passion for gathering around the fire. As a family-owned business, we cherish the lessons from Steve's farm days, hard work, honesty, and a touch of innovation. Looking ahead, we aim to expand our reach while preserving our small-batch ethos, introducing new flavors and products that honor our heritage.
