The innerwebs are going nutty today about the supposed announcement of a Hanson-inspired beer, MMMHop.

There is no mentioned of the beverage, however, on the band's official website or Twitter accounts. There is no official word from Hanson management, either. An email to the Tulsa group's publicist has not been answered.

Said drummer Zac Hanson during an interview with the Oxford University Union: “It’s vital our fans have trust in everything Hanson do. We are soon going to be selling our own beer. I’m not joking – MMMhop IPA anyone?”

He also said, “We of course make records, they are fundamental to what we do, but we wanted to create a brand so that our fans have a greater experience," quoted Toronto.com.

Websites have since gone ape and run with the story, including sites like Beer Advocate, NME, the Times of India, Contact Music, Houston Chronicle and others.

So, tongue-in-cheek quip about the Hanson brand, or serious announcement? What do y'all think? ... Would you drink it?
