Hanson launches MMMhop beer range

Former child stars Hanson are getting into the beer-selling business with a new IPA styled after their biggest hit MMMbop

The three brothers made the MMMhop IPA in collaboration with a craft brewery in their home state of Oklahoma.

They launched the beer at a party after The Hangover 3 premiere in Los Angeles.

It comes with the tagline: "From the guys that invented MMMbop".

Singer Taylor Hanson posted a picture to Twitter of him holding the beer with one of the film's stars Ed Helms.

Hanson shot to global fame with the release of their album Middle of Nowhere, including its smash hit song MMMbop, in 1997.

Though their subsequent recordings did not sell as well, the band continues to self-release albums through their own music label.

Guitarist Isaac Hanson is 31, frontman Taylor is 28 and drummer Zac is 26. They all have children. Taylor has four and the brothers have two each.
