Drink Your Team Colors
ANN ARBOR
Picking your favorite color of M&Ms can be a struggle, but that’s nothing compared to trying to decide whether your first drink at the tailgate in Ann Arbor will be MAIZE HAZE or BLUE REIGN. Basically, do you want to drink the helmet, or the helmet stickers? The jersey or the pants? Of course, the obvious solution is to drink both; that’s why they’re called Maize AND Blue.

ATHENS
The heat and humidity between the hedges in the dog days of fall can be withering, but when you’re in Athens there is no better form of liquid air conditioning for your tailgate than a bottle of DAWG DAZE to cool down first, and then cheer on the team.

AUBURN
Whether on the plains of the savannah in Africa, or on the Plains in Auburn, the distinctive roar of the tiger remains the same. When you’re tailgating on the Plains, the best way to toast to victory is with your own TIGER’S ROAR, which is exactly what you’ll do after you have a drink.

AUSTIN
While the expression goes, “Keep Austin Weird,” the only weird thing at the tailgate there would be to not show up with some BURNT ORANGE BLITZ! The burnt orange jersey and a bottle of BURNT ORANGE BLITZ are a match made in the kind of heaven where longhorn pastures are everywhere.

BATON ROUGE
In the Tailgate Capital a new tradition emerges! Whether it’s the eye of the tiger at midfield, the H-shaped goalposts, or even a live Tiger in a cage beyond the end zone, Death Valley is all about traditions. While it’s the newest, bringing bottles of BAYOU BLITZ and TIGER TAIL to the tailgate is definitely the tastiest. Show your love for the Purple and Gold by drinking Purple and Gold!
