GABF 2016 | Our Favorite Beer Names

By | October 15, 2016

Porch Drinking

There were more than 3,500 beers being poured at GABF this past weekend. You probably did’t try them all. In fact you probably didn’t even stop to look at every single beer being poured at the festival. Well I definitely didn’t try all of the beers either, but I did do some extensive investigating of the beers at GABF and compiled a list of my favorite beer names.

PALE ALE | HANSON BROTHERS BREWING CO.

Any beer that references the Hanson Brothers will make my list. To make it even better Zac Hanson himself was pouring the beer!

Selfies with Zac Hanson are Everyone’s Favorite GABF Souvenir

Craft Beer 

The 2016 Great American Beer Festival featured thousands of impressive craft beers, but we guarantee the only thing that rivaled beer’s popularity were selfies with Zac Hanson.

Zac, now 30, is the youngest member of Hanson, the late-90s boy band brother trio responsible for “MMMBop.” He was at the festival representing Oklahoma’s Hanson Brothers Beer Company, which he started along with brothers Isaac and Taylor. (And yes, they have a beer named “MMMHops,” an admittedly brilliant name no matter how you feel about late-90s pop music.)

As much as we love beer — and we love, love craft beer — a celeb sighting at GABF ups the ante, and Zac was kind enough to pose for pretty much a zillion selfies with fans. These are some of our favorite.

When you wish your prom date looked this good

When your friends come for beer, but wait with you to meet Zac

When you’re so excited, you can only speak in hashtags

When dudes talk about dude stuff

When your cousin meets your teenage crush and you aren’t at GABF

When you have the guts to sing a Hanson song to Zac Hanson

When you see your 3rd grade crush and still can’t talk to him

When you know the name of the beer, but not which Hanson you’re talking a picture with

When a guy photo bombs you and you don’t even care because OMG you just got a picture with Zac Hanson

When you know all those games of MASH finally got it right!! #futurehusband

When meeting Zac is the #bestdayever

When you come for the beer, but stay for that Hanson smile

When you’re proud that the 2016 you held it together because a 1997 you would have lost your s**t

When you realize learning to play guitar finally pays off #starpower

When your love of #craftbeer lands you beside your favorite Hanson bro

When Zac likes you so much he Regrams your photos

When you don’t want to tell the big boss at the brewery you work at that Zac Hanson might be more handsome than him

Hanson Mention in Joe Jonas AMA

By | October 12, 2016

Reddit

wp-1476277126850.jpg

Yesterday Joe Jonas participated in one of reddits “AMA” and was asked about Hanson.

Q: Who would win in a fight, Jonas Brothers or Hanson?

A: We actually once played Hanson in a broomball tournament against New Kids On The Block and we beat Hanson really good. We swept the floor with them, but New Kids On The Block kind of put us to shame and made us realize that we’re children. So, out of the three that you didn’t ask, New Kids would win.

And if any of the members of Hanson are on Reddit and happen to be reading this. You still owe me to send me some of your MMMHops beer that you promised me back in 2011. Thanks.
