DENTON, Texas – UNT Athletics and Hochatown Distilling Company have announced the launch of Mean Green Reserve Straight Bourbon Whiskey.

 

“We are thrilled to partner with Hochatown Distilling on the new Mean Green Reserve that showcases the UNT brand as they expand their growing footprint into Texas,” UNT Vice President and Director of Athletics Jared Mosley said. “We got to experience first-hand the craftsmanship that Blue and his team put into every bourbon they distill and I know Mean Green Nation will enjoy it too.”

 

Mean Green Reserve will be available in August in retailers across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Hochatown Distilling Company is distributed in Texas by Green Light Distribution.

 

“It’s a privilege to partner with the University of North Texas,” said Tommy “Blue” McDaniel, founder and managing partner of Hochatown Distilling Company. “We look forward to contributing to the positive impact UNT has made in the region and are excited to bring top-tier products and experiences to their alumni, fans and customers.”

 

Hochatown Distilling Company in Broken Bow, Okla. was formed in 2015 in the heart of southeastern Oklahoma with the goal of producing the finest quality spirits. The community of Hochatown has a long history of producing quality moonshines, aided by the pristine water of the Mt. Fork River and the security of the remote bottoms and hollers of the Kiamichi Mountains.

 

More information on sales locations and tasting events will be announced soon. Sampling will be available at this Saturday’sMean Green Kickoff event set to begin at 5 pm in the HUB Club at DATCU Stadium.

 

The collaboration between UNT and the Hochatown Distilling Company was created through athletic multimedia rights holder Mean Green Sports Properties, the locally based team of Learfield – the leading media and technology powering college athletics, and the Mean Green Reserve is licensed through licensing agency Affinity.

They offered tastes tonight at the Kickoff event (also tastes of the new NT Revolver beer) and took orders. Not sure about the bourbon, but Revolver says they currently have products for NT and TAMU.

Metzlers currently has the beer on tap and will have cans by the end of the week.

The blonde was strong. Delicious. 

The whiskey mixed with lemonade Made a tasty Scrappy Sour. It too was outstanding. 

Our Mean Green drinks are on point. 

Winning will bring a whole different level to Denton Gameday.

I am thankful they are trying to do more things like this. Sadly, the one thing you can count on, just like with UNT gear, there will be those that no matter what they produce will complain about it.

Sadly true.

But what a summer. A beer, a bourbon, the caravans as normal, kickoff at the Hub Club, Nightmare on Elm Street, a volleyball invitational featuring 3 P4 conference opponents at The Super Pit, swim event with the team next week... it's been a pretty productive summer. Add in the TBT (although we didn't make it far) and it doesn't feel like the UNT offseason was that long.

NGL, I am super disappointed they partnered with an Oklahoma distillery, but only because I work for Lockwood Distilling here in the metroplex! Lol

I had a similar idea to this a few months ago, but wasn’t sure how to make it work! 
 

love the thinking outside the box!

what does this 'partnership' entail? and what benefit does UNT get from it?

Wasn’t at the event but heard the beer is good and the bourbon is rough. That’s to be expected though. Love that we’re doing this kind of stuff. 

I thought the bourbon was perfectly acceptable. Wasn't blown away, but "rough" it was not.

The key to successful liquor sales is distribution. I invested in a now defunct tequila company that had an excellent product but we never could get a strong distributor and didn't make it. Oh well.

      Don’t tar and feather me, but I don’t think we’ve seen our best logo yet. Get those downvotes ready, but someone has to agree with me. I would like us to try something new.

      Injury Updates?

      You should be able to send it to the AD with a note written on it to request it be forwarded on to him. They should be able to gather them up and deliver them. Of course that requires having a department filled with competent people. I hope that is the case, but history shows that it is not a guarantee. It's a good idea and I encourage you to follow through. I'm trying to motivate myself to follow through on this as well. Something about this injury hit me harder than a lot of other (even worse) ones I've seen. I've got personal reasons that I think may be at play here.

      DATCU stadium

      Just a few Gameday experience notes: 1. I noticed the conference flags were gone. Did we fail to get an Army flag in time. Did we have an smu burning ceremony I missed. Kidding. Living by smu I noticed they had the ACC flags flying off the east side of the stadium for their Friday night tilt. 2. The inside stadium bar area needs some help. Get a sponsor for it and have them take it up several notches. Make that pavilion a fun zone for partygoers. It’s a large space with some solid football viewing potential. It could be elevated to see over the picture takers when the game starts but overall I bought a Reserve drink, hung by the railing and watched the first quarter. Now the sponsor part has potential. Make it a party zone. Bring in a dj and performers. Think Nikki Beach where performers, roam out every 20 minutes and get the crowd fired up, engaged. These performers are sometimes dancers, sometimes runway models, sometimes musicians playing solos to the beat. Love the Nikki Beach concept because it’s high octane festive sexy and fun. The Terrace could be the pregame party inside the stadium before the game starts and social deck after the game begins. Now for a complaint or curiosity. Why can’t you flow in and out with drinks? is it a liquor license thing? I was fine staying in the zone to drink my cocktail and watch the game but people on the outside were telling their friends on the inside to buy their next beer outside the terrace so they could roam around. It felt a bit restrictive and I was just curious why? All pro stadiums sell drinks in the corridors. UNLV has a slick Jack Daniel’s installation bar with tv’s showing games inside the Thomas and Mack. Just curious why the setup. I felt the Gameday experience was good. The music, announcer band and dancers seemed to connect yesterday. That has been a challenge in the past. They kept the entertainment moving. The game wasn’t but the pop moments from the various efforts flowed. The laser light show on the field was cool. But they should have instructed fans to go up in the stands for best viewing. Good job UNT, supporters groups and fans. Beat Tech. GMG

      Mean Green Invasion of Lubbock

      I mean this as no knock to the skill level of anyone in the band, but more broadly. The Green Brigade is just kind of boring when it comes to football bands. When I see bands like Tech, Texas A&M, Texas, LSU, etc., it really stands out.
