Taylor and Isaac Hanson at the brewery. Hanson’s beer is called Mmmhops.
When Hanson plays the House of Blues on Saturday, we’re wondering if they’ll get the bartenders to serve up their new band beer, “Mmmhops”?
We are not kidding. Hanson has a beer, and it’s called Mmmhops. But the men of Hanson aren’t the only musicians who have lent their name to a quirky product over the years. Many artists have made it possible to shop for a wide variety of items from the mundane (perfume and hot sauce) to the wacky (handcuffs and sex toys). See if you can tell the real goods from the fake ones.
