BBQ Better was born in the backyard, built in the pit, and backed by bold American flavor. Crafted by Frank Ackerman — pitmaster, biker, and flavor fanatic — this rub was designed for brisket but works wonders on ribs, steaks, and just about anything that hits the grill.
Our S.O.B. Beef Rub is packed by hand in Antelope, California, using premium spices for serious bark and bold taste. This is BBQ done better.
