The University of Nevada Athletics Department is teaming up with Brothers Barbecue to bring you the ultimate game-changer: Howlin’ Bold and Spicy BBQ Sauce. This mouthwatering collaboration, supported by CLC (the university’s exclusive trademark licensing company), launches on Friday, August 4th, and we couldn’t be more excited.
But what makes this partnership so special? Well, let’s start with Brothers Barbecue, a local treasure that has been dishing out authentic Texas-style BBQ since 2006. With cherished family recipes handed down through generations, you’re in for a treat that’s steeped in heritage. And now, they’ve taken their BBQ expertise to a whole new level with the creation of Howlin’ Bold and Spicy.
Work hard, grind it out, and never give up! That’s what we do at Brothers Barbecue and that’s what the student athletes at the University of Nevada do every season. This is a natural partnership between our family restaurant and the University of Nevada Athletic department.
