This year we have hunted for more unique and rare pepper plant varieties worldwide (India, China, Trinidad, and South America) and will have OVER 135 varieties of pepper plants for sale for this upcoming growing season, including six varieties that have recently been scientifically proven to be hotter than the ghost pepper! NEW THIS YEAR: 1) We will discuss the latest scientific research that has compared the hotness of six new chili pepper varieties including “the Carolina Reaper” against the ghost pepper, 2) you will have the chance to sample many of these new hot varieties and see for yourself if they are hotter than the ghost pepper, 3) Four types of chili pepper beers will be available for sampling [Aji Limon Pale Ale, Zavory Habanero Lime Pale Ale (no heat), Rocoto Red Ale, and “the Nemesis” Belgium Amber Ale (contains all of the hottest chili peppers in the world)], 4) you can taste some of Dr. Dave’s new 111 lime cilantro hot sauce and also a vegetarian chili that contains a blend of all 111 chili pepper varieties pictured above, and 5) hear the world premiere of the Chili Pepper song written and performed by Dr. Dave.
