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!

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 liked the bourbon better than the beer.

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

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

With all the alcohol partnerships coming up this season, I'm starting to think the AD is trying to prepare us for pain. 🫣

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.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      Giving these coaches 4-5 year contracts can make them complacent. It seems they may not have the urgency to get things going due to the years they have, so they always feel like they’ll get that chance once again. Terrible thing for Jared to do for an unproven coach with no HC experience. I’m not going to count his IW stint since that’s a different division all together.

      Hi!

      B.S. You don't know that. It's just a guess. My freshman year was 1961, I was the vice president of a major fraternity,and neither that or either of our opinions means jack. Historically , with some exceptions, we have had an underfunded athletic department that put out a poor product in both football and men's basketball. For some reason[ which I can't explain],even after spending 10's of millions of dollars on bricks and sticks for the football program and increasing our athletic budget by million's of dollars we still put our a poor product. It's become difficult for those of us who have financially supported UNT athletics to the best of our financial ability, for years if not decades, to continue to basically throw good money after bad. I have always said expect more or you will get less but I am turning 82 in April and just don't see any change in the results of our football program.

      Clearance Rack Baylor

      How many people still respond to this guy's tweets trying to correct him cracks me up. The bit has been going on for years. I think the guy running the account wrote a book about it. The whole schtick is that he's wrong. But SMU is Clearance Rack Baylor, so he's right about that one.

      I hope we lose to Temple

      I know this was probably because of Thanksgiving break, but looking at the stadium, you could see this big time. The screen play has its place, we use it WAAAY too much. I know it is part of Air Raid, but it only works consistently against slow, bad defenses.

      What’s up with DT Sheffield?

      I have no doubt he is gone along with half of the roster. It's just a fact of life where we are with football, and some players that know they are transferring are going to start shutting things down early (not just at UNT, but something we definitely struggle with here). Not really anything we can do about it unless we start playing big in the NIL arena.
