Hanson to release MMMHop beer
Who says there’s no place for Hanson at the bar?
The '90s pop trio, famous for their long locks and the hit tune MMMBop,
is in the process of expanding their brand (yes, they have a brand) with
their own beer: MMMHop.
The India Pale Ale - to be made available in 2012 - will
join Zac, Taylor and Isaac's other merchandise, which
includes a board game and a record player.
“We of course make records, they are fundamental to
what we do,†Zac Hanson recently told reporters in
Oxford, England, via Rolling Stone . “But we wanted
to create a brand so that our fans have a greater
experience.â€Â
In other words, they’re hoping the beer will enhance
their music?
Good thing the bands’ teenybopper groupies from 1996
are all legal now.
But don’t expect Hanson to slap their name on just any
product.
“We will never make dolls, lunch boxes or toothbrushes
that play our songs, for example,†Hanson said.
And good thing, because the only brothers who are going to succeed in
the singing toothbrush market these days are the Jonas Brothers.
Will you take a swig of Hanson’s MMMHop IPA when
it’s released next year?

I just watched the MMMBop video for the first time in years this
morning. I knew it would lead to epic things!!!

I do not appreciate your sarcastic tone throughout this entire article.
It is okay not to be a fan of Hanson, but this article is intended to
tell the reader about a new product, not give your degrading opinion of
the band. I will absolutely be purchasing and drinking this beer and I
know lots of other people will as well.

I am a HUGE hanson fanâ€"let me start by saying that! But I do have
to point out the following 1) I really don't think this article is
sarcastic? and 2) Even if it is, this is a blogâ€"not a news
article. A blog isn't to inform people about products, it's really to
give your thoughts.

The above poster is correct, this is a blog, and may rip or praise on
Hanson as she so chooses.

Trust me, this hairstyle is a lot better for them than the crap they had
when they first came out... led to that Quagmire line on Family Guy...
lol. Better Stevie Wonder than Justin Bieber's mom if you ask me.

I absolutely agree with Laura. No need for the sarcasm in this article,
especially since the author has probably only ever heard MMMBop, and not
any of the other great music Hanson has released since then. I will most
definitely be buying this beer. Can't wait!

the hanson boys always came in to the brewery/restaurant I used to work
for whenever they were in town, so they obviously appreciate a good
beer! very nice, polite guys. IPA is my favorite, and I'll definitely
check it out when it becomes available.

yeah I was not a fan of their poppy music when I was a teenager, but I
have recently heard them during a live jam session and they are very
talented musicians. I wish people would give them a break about their
pubescent pop choices and allow for the fact that they have grown up,
and are actual musicians.

I don't know what's more depressing: Celebrities that are willing to put
their name on almost anything, or the fact that many people out there
will buy a product simply for that reason. Do these guys actually have
any brewing experience, or did they just sign on the dotted line when an
actual brewer made a sales pitch to them - I suspect I know the answer.
Knowing what a good beer tastes like makes you a brewer is like saying
that appreciating good music makes you a musician.

For what it is worth, these three guy's net worth is $120 million
dollars ($40 mill each). They continue to sell a ton of records through
onlline and their own distribution network (they cut out the middle man
so to speak), don't think they are doing this for the money. And there
music is good, maybe not everyone's cup of tea, but their talent and
skill is amazing.
