AUSTIN, Minn., June 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The makers of Lloyd's® barbeque products, the No. 1 selling heat and serve barbeque in America, announced today its pecanwood smoked pulled pork and hardwood smoked chicken made with 2-time world barbeque sauce champion Pig Beach Mustard BBQ Sauce.

Winner of the 2014 and 2016 Memphis in May World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest, Pig Beach Mustard BBQ Sauce is a perfect match for Lloyd's® lightly seasoned hardwood smoked pulled meats.

"The Lloyd's® brand offers a meat that is moist, tender, flavorful and perfectly smoked and is arguably better than a lot of barbeque that I've eaten at restaurants," said Matt Abdoo, partner of Pig Beach. "To pair our sauce with it is in incredible honor."

"We are really excited and passionate about what's in that package going out to consumers," added Shane McBride, partner of Pig Beach. "How cool is it that people throughout the country can try our award-winning Pig Beach BBQ Sauce?"
