After the success of their debut brew Mmmhops Pale Ale, pop-rock trio Hanson has decided to host their own craft beer and music festival this spring.

Slated for May 18 in Tulsa, Okla., during American Craft Beer Week, Hop Jam Craft Beer and Music Festival will include participation from 14 different breweries from across the state of Oklahoma. Starting during the event, Hanson's flagship Mmmhops beer will be made available for online purchase, having previously been limited to the regional market.

The festival will include a free concert headlined by Hanson along with Robert Randolph and the Family Band, with additional performers to be announced.

“Through The Hop Jam, our hope is that we can help support the craft beer community and foster a one of a kind music event, while also creating an anchor for [Tulsa's] downtown renewal”, said Taylor Hanson of the festival.
