INAUGURAL HOP JAM BEER AND MUSIC FESTIVAL MAY 18th FEATURING HANSON, ROBERT RANDOLPH AND THE FAMILY BAND & BUTCH WALKER

May 12th Tulsa OK – Pop-rock trio HANSON announce that the release of their craft beer Mmmhops Pale Ale. The brothers’ debut beer from their Hanson Brothers Beer Company was first released in their home state of Oklahoma and select markets in the Midwest in fall 2013.

Mmmhops Pale ale is a smooth-bodied Pale Ale crafted with rich malt and a signature blend of hops, with 7.5% alcohol. The recipe was inspired by the desire to create a high flavor Pale Ale that appeals to both new and established craft beer drinkers.

Coinciding with American Craft Beer Week, Hanson Brothers Beer will be celebrating the community of craft brewers in Oklahoma with the inaugural annual event The Hop Jam Beer and Music Festival in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Sunday May 18th. The festival will feature Oklahoma’s craft brewers, along with live performances by HANSON, Robert Randolph and The Family Band and Butch Walker, for the free all-ages concert in Tulsa’s Brady Arts District.

Keeping with the theme of supporting independent beer and music, The Hop Jam will kick off with a performance by opening band contest winner, Tulsa-based Capitol Cars.

Gates open for The Hop Jam at 3pm for the beer portion of the festival, music will start at 5pm.

Just The Facts
Weisswurst Brunch at Fassler Hall

Sunday, 11 a.m

Join us ahead of the Hop Jam at Fassler Hall for a Weisswurst Brunch. Weisswurst, literally translated to white sausage, is a traditional fresh sausage served in the morning. Fassler Hall will be serving a Weisswurst along with potato pancakes and accompanied with house mustard for $10. Marshall Brewing’s Klaus Hefeweizen will be on draft and pairs perfectly with the brunch items offering a soft palate cleanse.

Hop Jam 2014
Who: Hanson, Robert Randolph & the Family Band, Butch Walker and another local band chosen by voters, to be announced this week
When: May 18. Event opens at 3 p.m., music begins at 5 p.m.
Where: Centered on North Main and Brady streets with entrances at Boulder Avenue and Brady Street and Brady Street near Boston Avenue.
Tickets: Free to attend. Beer tastings will be sold individually using tickets.

Marshall Brewing Company pioneered craft beer in Tulsa and helped lead the way for more brewers in the area.

And with more brewers comes more events showcasing craft beer, such as The Hop Jam festival coming up May 18.

It’s the first year for the beer and music event, a collaboration between the band Hanson — Tulsa brothers who also brew beer — and the state’s breweries.

At The Hop Jam, guest brewers will feature special limited-edition brews as well as their premier beers.

Exclusively for The Hop Jam, Marshall Brewing Company has created a special beer named after the Tulsa World called Newshound. Newshound is a hoppy German-style wheat ale, said Wes Alexander, director of sales.

“It will be dry hopped with amarillo hops adding a citrus note to the banana and clove aromas that are the hallmark of German wheat beers,” Alexander said.

In addition to Newshound, Marshall also will bring Revival Red Ale and a preview of the Arrowhead Pale Ale, a popular summer seasonal that won’t be released until about a week after the festival.

Phantom of the Hopera is another Marshall that will be available at The Hop Jam. The base for this dry-hopped stout is Marshall’s barrel-aged Black Dolphin Stout. Chinook and citra hops will add a special punch just for this event, he said.

“It is exciting to see interest in craft beer from folks outside the craft beer industry. The Hanson brothers are the pride of Tulsa, and fans will be coming from all over, so this event will showcase Oklahoma beer in an audience that is somewhat amplified,” Alexander said.

It’s a big weekend for the state’s brewers, he noted, saying that the Oklahoma City Craft Beer Fest is Saturday.

What can we look forward to in the near future from Marshall?

“We have been experimenting with a Belgian IPA. I can’t release the name of it just yet, but it is going to be a really exciting beer for us,” Alexander said.

He explained that the beer will be dry hopped with citra, amarillo and nelson sauvin, “hops that provide really nice citrus notes that characterize a Belgian beer. The flavor can be kind of spicy and floral and provides some sweetness.”

It’s a bigger beer for Marshall, Alexander explained, at 7.8 percent alcohol by volume.

“It is really exciting to see all of the new beers and new brands that are emerging in Oklahoma. There is a kinship among the brewers who all have different background and different business models,” Alexander said. “And we are proud that much of our hard work and efforts have made it easier for those new breweries.”

We are taking a look at the brewers who are scheduled to be at Hop Jam and offering some background and picks from Tulsa World’s beer blogger, Tom Gilbert (tulsaworld.com/whattheale).

The Hanson brothers and I have a lot in common. Well at least about beer and photography.

I have no musical talent and don’t have any screaming fans though. They are all passionate about their music and craft beer. Taylor Hanson is also passionate about photography and now documents his travels with his camera. At an early age, the brothers traveled extensively. This opens up your world and helps you understand other ways of thinking. They also all came back to Oklahoma.

Oklahoma is really going through a revolution when it comes to craft beer. The United States has never had as many breweries in its history and Oklahoma’s craft beer community is growing, too.

The Hanson brothers are starting a music and beer festival that it wants to grow too.

They thought bringing those things together would be a logical step. So Hop Jam was created. They wanted to create an event that invited people share these two worlds – enjoying great craft beer and great music.

“A lot of people don’t know how much great beer there is in Oklahoma, said Taylor Hanson. “It is really cool to go to a bar and look at the taps and see all the beer tap handles of beer that is produced in Oklahoma.

“We want to see the whole craft beer community grow.”

Isaac Hanson didn’t like beer or at least he didn’t know he liked beer. He was more of a “bourbon man,” he said.

“It is a growing process, you can’t just like beer. You have to start somewhere and learn the different flavors. I preferred to drink bourbon and did not like beer. It  was really Boulevard Wheat that got me going.

“I then started with Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and really like Mustang’s Washita Wheat also Marshall’s Atlas and COOP’s DNR and F5 are some other great beers to drink,” said Isaac Hanson. “This, of course, would be in addition to MMMHops.

“MMMhops is our flagship beer that was released last year. It is a welcome to craft beer type of pale ale.

“It has a some really nice malty signatures to it, but it still has some very bright hop notes. It allows for people not familiar with a full bodied, more full flavored craft type beer to start to understand what they have been missing,” said Isaac.

“I have had people come up to me saying it was the hoppiest beer I have had and others say it wasn’t as hoppy as I though it would be. That for me is good. That means we are doing our jobs.”

The Hanson Brother Brewery is working on a farmhouse ale for the festival.

“It’s going to have a classic Saison spice with a little pepper and hoppy at the end so it will have some bitterness from the hops,” said Taylor. “This is a beer for people really into the traditional styles and stuff that is less common, something that is really different.”

It will be a limited release and will go fast.

“The goal with our special festival beer is to capture the essence of a classic Farmouse Ale, with a subtle hoppy presence,” they said in an email Friday.

“The Hop Jam is an invitation to craft beer and is also right at the start of summer, so we wanted a beer that was easy to drink and refreshing, but also diverse in it’s flavor palate.

“We’ve built the recipe around a light barley malt base, with two row and melanoiden, and rye malt for a bit of spice. The farmhouse yeast colors the overall flavor of the beer, giving it a light smokiness and a citrus fragrance.

“Like all the brews specially made for The Hop Jam, this is a fun one-off beer that we hope people will love, but you have to get there right at the start of the fest cause it won’t last long!”

The Hanson brothers have a plan to launch more limited runs a couple of times a year. They are going to try out different things to see what people respond to. They plan to release these beers in the bomber size 750ml.

“It will be fun to get the chance to experiment with a lot of different things. We really do love the complexity and diversity that exits within beer,” said Isaac.
