Grilled steak coated in a bold, smoky spice rub

Small-batch BBQ spice blends worth raiding the cabinet for

We're Beckett and Nico, two brothers from Mill Valley. We mixed our favorite BBQ flavors into two bold seasonings, tested on the grill until the plate was empty.

Family roots

A spice cabinet that never set limits

Beckett and Nico grew up with Vietnamese, German, and Southern flavors at the table. No blend sticks to one tradition, and that's the point.

THE BROTHERS

Meet the two behind the blends

Two teen brothers, a shared grill, and a stubborn belief that dinner should never be boring. That's Brutal Blends.

Beckett Brand

Co-founder & Heat Keeper & Stellar Lil Bro

The one who stole the spice cabinet and never gave it back. Beckett hunts down bold flavors and cranks the heat until it's just right.

Nico Brand

Co-founder & Flavor Tester & Best Big Bro

Nico's job is the best one. He runs every batch through the taste test, on the grill with friends, until the plate is empty.

BY THE NUMBERS

How much is too much? We kept testing.

Every jar starts small, gets pushed hard on the grill, and only launches when it earns its spot. Here's the proof.

GRILL NIGHTS

Tested on our grill, with our friends

Every batch ends up on our grill on Friday nights. When the plate comes back empty, we know it's ready. That's how Smokey Churri Fury earned its spot.
