If North Texas had their own brewery...

replace "beer" with "brewery" and open this up.

Cold?

Denton Co Brewing needs to come out with an official beer for the Mean Green.

For mass appeal, I would go with a Lager or Pilsner.

Morrison's Beer-Kits

3 Nations Brewery is owned by a UNT alumni.  He provided(sponsors) our tailgating in the Black Lot. 
 

I bet we could get them to brew a UNT beer

This guy is one of my friends since middle school and a UNT alum, although they shut down a few years back.  He tried getting a hold of the university for watch parties and never got a response. Had a great IPA https://www.noblereybrewing.com

They should start a master brewing/distilling program under the Hotel/Restaurant Management program.

If SFA had one, it'd be a LOGGER!

[greenminer]

I'd have a light lager to appeal to the masses
A bock for the winter
A Belgian-style wheat
Possibly a pecan porter

As long as it's not a nasty IPA that someone has to convince me it has enjoyable "complexity" to its flavor and finish.

Given what I've seen from UNT alumni around Denton, I'd have to think you have many UNT associated breweries who could make several beers.

Even SMU has a beer.

I remember my first IPA... what a disaster. 

But I learned that, like coffee,  its a process.

Start with the absolute worst most bitter and pungent one imaginable. I recommend arrogant bastard. This is the palate killer.

Next, go cheap and simple,  something inoffensive like Sierra Nevada's entry level IPA. This acts close to a palate cleanser, but more of a palate reset.

Finish with something high end. I recommend dogfish head 90 minute.

 

After that, the flavor just sparks. You suddenly notice the notes and appreciate the hoppy bitterness. Or you don't, you unsophisticated donkey.

North Texas has never been mass appeal.  We are cool, artsy, niche.  Lean that direction.  We probably need to go with a sour mash or mead.

Enlist John Williams to pick it.

I like every single one of those.  But Dogfish 90 minute IPA is my movie watching sipper.  Damn good selection.  Can’t represent UNT, but still dang good.

Very excellent idea. 

I would favor an ale.

I would also suggest that "Mean Green" not be used in the name of the brew.  Unless of course, it ends up being an IPA. 

[UNT 90 Grad]

I miss this…

[UNTLifer]

UNT needs to work with these guys to run the "beer garden" under the wing during football games, and then set up a beer garden outside the SP, The Lace, Soccer Stadium, etc...  Give them exclusive rights to run those areas and create a Mean Green Brew in exchange MGSF would receive a percentage of the profit from that beer.  I have no connection them and have never been there, but I have heard great things.  The owners are alumni.

Barnett is Dave Barnett's brother.  He now runs Denton County Independent Hamburger and a new place out in Krum at 50 West called Smoke & Fire.

As a UNT fan you have to cultivate an appreciation for bitterness. Nothing goes with a Mean Green game on television like an IPA.

The point is that we need to increase appeal. What have the cool, artsy, niche people done for us?
