(PCM) Now I am truly beginning to feel my age! The brothers, that make up the pop/rock group Hanson are turning 21 and are turning up the celebration a notch by launching their own brand of beer, aptly named “MMMHOPS”!
The first news of a brew from the Oklahoma pop-rock trio surfaced in late 2011, creating a stir among fans and the pop-culture blogosphere, and now, after months of speculation, it’s official. The beer, brewed in partnership with Oklahoma craft beer company Mustang Brewing, will make it’s debut this fall in conjunction with the band’s extensive ANTHEM World Tour, in support of their upcoming sixth studio album ANTHEM, out June 18th.
Although the beer will not be for sale until the tour hits the road this fall, the band shared the first taste of the brew with those attending last week’s Los Angeles premiere of The Hangover Part III in conjunction with the use of the band’s 90’s classic and the beer’s naming inspiration, “Mmmbop,” which is one of the songs featured in the third and final film in the comedy trilogy.
While Mmmhops has been in the works for some time, the band moved up their release plans in response to the devastating tornados in their home state of Oklahoma last week. As shared on Monday’s Good Morning America, several Mmmhops related merchandise items are now available for sale, with all proceeds being donated to the Red Cross to aid in the disaster relief efforts.
