 Ah, the 90s. It was the age of innocence – and Fruit Gushers. It was the decade that brought us "Happy Happy Joy Joy," a painstaking interest in Cory and Topanga's relationship, Shaq's impeccable acting skills in "Kazaam!" and Tamagotchis. It also brought us Hanson: the then long-haired trio of brothers who belted out their sweet, sweet harmonies to teens and tweens around the nation. And now it seems they’re taking one such harmony, 1997's infectious "MMMBop," to the beer aisle – with the launch of “MMMHop.” After all, what better way to relive the decade that was “all that and a bag of chips” than at a bar - especially since Hanson’s original fan base is of legal drinking age now.
Turns out, there's a whole sector of the beer-brewing industry that has yet to be tapped. Nineties pop song inspired beers? Right this way: "Lager than Life" by the Backstreet Boys "No Suds" by TLC "(Dirty) Hop" by *NSYNC (stylized correctly) "4 Saisons of Loneliness" by Boyz II Men "Ale Be Missing You" by Puff Daddy "Baby Got Bock" by Sir Mix-A-Lot "This is How We Brew It" by Montell Jordan "Weiss Weiss Baby" by Vanilla Ice "Kreik" by Radiohead "Bitte Sweet Symphony" by The Verve Did we miss your favorite 90s jam with brewski potential? Ain't nothin' but a G thang; share it in the comments. |

I love Hanson's song "Been There Before" from 2007. It's a masterpiece!
This is funny news. Hanson are great live! Awesome band–check their newer stuff, it will amaze you. especially the UNDERNEATH album, check it out! Nice songs: Underneath, Strong Enough to Break, Penny and Me, Dancin in the Wind, Lost without Each Other, etc!
Wrong. Simply wrong.

I used to think the same way until I saw their unplugged DVD and then I changed my mind immediately. These guys are amazing musicians, particularly Issac. He is a very talented man. They are much better than you think.
god damn.
I know that you will be trying it too! Admit it!!!
*sob* I may never drink a beer again *sob* :(
Yes, you will, and THIS will be the beer you drink!
Haha, you are funny....I totally agree :)
please, yes you will!!
I saw them playing once at Universal Studios, but I had no idea who they were. A security guard filled me in and told me he thought they were kinda famous. I guess I was a little too old at the time for their music.
BUT! I will try this beer!
I'm going to try it as well :)
20 years...millions of dollars...and they can't buy a decent haircut between the three of them...sad really...
Wow! Can't wait for the New Kids on the Block Single Malt Whiskey.

Congrats on the Vanilla Ice joke.
They now look like every IT department at every office in America.
Who are these guys? Have they done a song since the 1990s? Have they done a song whose lyrics were not silly nonsense for the mindless? Why do I care if they're making a beer and why should I buy it? Because they're a bunch of white kid has-beens? I wasn't aware that this was such a slow news day...
Then don't read the article. It's just a nice, light piece about a memory from the 90s.
Exactly.
@brandonj: They've made several albums since the 90s.
Obviously, you care enough to post a comment, so if you're really curious to know what Hanson's done lately, Google it. They are not has-beens. They've been making music steadily for the last 15 years. And clearly, they've found an offbeat way to expand their brand. So while they're raking in dough for this newest venture, you'll still be making anonymous comments on news stories.
P.S. The level of fame they had in the 90s, and the continued (if quiet) success of their music, makes this newsworthy. Take a basic journalism course before you question the news judgement of CNN.
"Mmmbop" was not silly non-sense..."You have so many relationships in this life, only one or two will last. You're going through all the pain and strife then you turn your back and they're gone so fast." Those are the first verses of the song...And they made it when they were around 8...'Coz they made Mmmbop before they got discovered and recorded it under a major record label. "Mmmbop" means a short period of time or an instant..."In an mmmbop they are gone, in an mmmbop they're not there, can you tell me who will still care."
I'm a long time Hanson fan, but are we really debating the merits of MMMBop? LOL We just need to admit that is what the majority of people will always remember them for regardless of what they do as adults.
And all of you coming up with these beer names for rappers, you know you will have to make sure it is available in a 40 ounce bottle, right?
Kid Rock has his own beer, American Bad Ass Lager, and its made in Michigan.
Aren't they LDS? As in, isn't drinking alcohol against their religion?
They were a lot cuter when I was 12.
No, they aren't LDS.
they're Greek Orthodox. why does everybody always think they're LDS?
Greek? Now it makes sense.
As a Brewer I must say, puke. Bla. Yuk.This truly is the bastardization of beer.
Hop Heads in the Minneapolis area should check out Fulton Brewery's IPA: Sweet Child of Vine.

Judging from the picture it seems their specialty these days is actually asymmetrical hairstyles.

This reminds me of an old joke from about 15 years ago or so.
Q: What has blonde hair, six legs & dominates Michael Jackson's wet dreams?
