Game-day tailgates call for whisky, and this guide has you covered, from main dishes, sides, and appetizers to cocktails. This year, Evan Williams has partnered with three new schools in its Bourbon Nation college promotional program across the country, which gives it a presence at college football and basketball games for the 2025-2026 season. And Evan Williams will bring the bourbon.
Bar experiences at Evan Williams’ Bourbon Nation Bars, tailgate events, social media opportunities, and fan promotions can be found at the University of Alabama, University of Florida, University of Oklahoma, Ohio State, University of Oregon, University of South Carolina, Syracuse University, and Texas Christian University stadiums.
