Hanson - They're Cooler than you Think

[Girlie]

From the brothers who brought you that annoyingly catchy song "MMMBop" comes the beer "MmmHops".

Clicking on that link leads to a questionnaire regarding Hanson's latest tour, plus a t-shirt and a pint glass for sale.

Where's the beer?

[Palinka (RIP)]

Hmmm..This comes dangerously close to ad-fart-icing.

They seem a bit desperate and the fact that is unavailable for tastings and they can't even reveal its %ABV, combined with the fact that their beer's webpage practically begs one to attend a Hanson gig, makes me think that it's a PR gimmick (of course, I thought that about the Iron Maiden beer until I was faced with a pint...the horror, the horror...)...

In no fucking imaginable alternate reality do these douche bags get any kind of street cred by coming up with a beer looking like an irish ale and thinking anyone is going to buy it. Dudes don't like these guys and girls aren't clamoring for beers in green bottles unless its Heineken and they are mostly just posing when they do. Apologies of course to the east coast girls who swill Rolling Rock.

MMMhops just shows more ignorance where they fall into this idea if you over fucking hop the beer that somehow makes it good. It doesn't, just makes it cost more.

Sorry, rant. Hate boy bands (cost me money when my girls were young and having the 11 year old here is starting the nightmare over again with 1D-asshole Simon Cowel) hate overly hopped beer as swells think that makes it good. I have a 2 credit passing college grade from a world gold medal home brewing husband/wife team and I know my shit. As much as I care to know it.

A. When did Stephen Baldwin join the Hansons?
B. I've seen a dozen bar bands sing the same thing. Bangin' on a box don't make you Keith Moon.

What's up with that stuff? I've tried most of it and I'm done gagging even though IPA's and their hopped out knock offs occupy most of the shelf space at my local vendor. Who is drinking this swill?

Well, these guys:



I'm sure you've seen them in your neck of the woods.

And this guy:



As he regales us with his decades of beer tasting excursions which make him an underpaid aficionado.

This guy decided he didn't give a shit:



This guy says he does, but face it, he'll drink anything he doesn't have to pay for....Natty Light here he comes:

There is still beauty in this world.
But c'mon Judge, aren't some of these micro brews going over the top with the hopps thing?

hah! you said moon.
i don't even know why that's funny to me at 6:20 a.m. on a weekday but it is.

Well, one of my favorite beers is Hopslam from Bell's. However, I doubt that this Mmmhops is even that hoppy, they probably just went with the name. Shit, even Miller Lite's commercial talk about how much hops they use and that is total BS.

[Lush City]

Most of these trendy bars have on tap over hopped micro brews and wheat beers. It's important to ask for a sample. These over hopped concoctions may actually gag you they are so bitter. Battery acid is a good description. Wheat beers for some irritate the gut the next day.
