Recommended Posts

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.
