F&W apologizes in advance for reintroducing the almost unbearably catchy song \u201cMMMBop\u201d back into your psyche. But the 1997 mega-hit from Hanson, the pop band made up of brothers Isaac, Taylor and Zac Hanson, has to be mentioned because of a new side project that you would probably never have associated with the baby-faced group: beer. In honor of the band\u2019s 21-year existence, Hanson is releasing Mmmhops, a pale ale produced in partnership with Mustang, a craft brewery based in the Hansons\u2019 home state of Oklahoma. Before it hits the shelves across the country, Mmmhops will be sold on the band\u2019s upcoming tour starting in September. Middle brother and lead singer (as well as keyboardist and guitar player) Taylor Hanson chatted with F&W about good beer and yet another talent, cooking.<\/p>\n
What does Mmmhops taste like?<\/strong>
\nIt\u2019s a really full-bodied pale ale. There\u2019s a touch of roasted quality to it. It\u2019s almost nutty. It\u2019s got a good hoppy flavor\u2014but not too crazy. We wanted it to be the type of beer that you\u2019ll enjoy if you don\u2019t think you\u2019re into craft beers. It\u2019s very drinkable. People will try it first because they\u2019ll be like, \u201cOK, I have to try Hanson’s beer, this is ridiculous.\u201d And then they\u2019ll be like, \u201cThis is actually really good.\u201d<\/p>\n
