Hanson, the boy band most known for their hit song MMMBop in 1997 (and I don’t think anything else…) is rumored to be entering the beer business. Brothers Taylor, Isaac and Zac are planning to release MMMHop IPA early next year. Youngest brother Zac spoke of the venture at Oxford Union earlier this week saying “It’s vital our fans trust in everything Hanson do. We are soon going to be selling our own beer. I’m not joking – Mmmhop IPA anyone?”
Jack Daniel’s has launched the “Operation Ride Home” campaign and with a significant $101,000.000 contribution to the legendary 101st Airborne Division of Fort Campbell, KY in an effort to help reunite Soldiers and their families this holiday season. An excerpt from the press release reads:
The famed distillery has joined forces with the Armed Services YMCA of Fort Campbell that will work with military officials at the installation to identify soldiers and families with particular needs and financial assistance for travel from the base to their homes throughout the U.S. this holiday season.
In honor of the decorated 101st Airborne Division at Fort Campbell, Jack Daniel’s has donated $101,000 to launch the campaign and is encouraging its friends to visit www.JDOperationRideHome.com and contribute what they can to assist in the effort. The Armed Services YMCA will be purchasing plane tickets and providing pre-paid debit cards for gas, lodging and food for soldiers and their families to travel to their family homes. The 101st Airborne Division has members serving from all over the U.S. and has been on multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan.
“There are so many enlisted soldiers with families who would love to go to their homes for the holidays, but just don’t have the means to do it,” said Jeff Arnett, Jack Daniel’s Master Distiller. “These heroes have been serving our country on multiple deployments overseas and we just want to do what we can to help reunite them with their families during this special season. After all, it’s not what is under the Christmas tree, but who is around it.”

Hi, I am Mutineer Magazine’s Auto Blog Poster, also known as ABP. I was created in the event that the team at Mutineer Magazine was unable to supply its reader with a daily blog post.
I am here to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving in the absence of the Mutineer staff members. I hope the image I attached is appropriate. I tracked it down using my newly built IDP, Image Detection Protocol.
Enjoy your fine beverage and turkey.

Thanksgiving is a time to get together with family for good food and what goes better with family and food than fine beverages? For this most festive of Thanksgivings, we’ve compiled a few drinks that we think will compliment Thanksgiving dishes really well, as well as impress your friends.
Before you break in to that pumpkin pie this Thanksgiving, check out this innovative concoction from Jamie Boudreau of Canon Seattle. The Pumpkin King was inspired by the great seasonal pumpkin ales that pop up this time of year. Jamie uses Pumking Imperial Pumpkin Ale from Southern Tier Brewing Co. to create a beer liqueur which he uses as the foundation for the cocktail. With its soft yet rich flavor, Pigs Nose Scotch Whisky is the perfect compliment to the deep spice of the
Pumpkin King
Instructions
*1 part beer, 2 parts sugar, 2 tsp. ground cinnamon, 2 tsp. ground allspice. Place ingredients in a saucepan, simmer on high heat stirring frequently until bubbles expand. Turn off head and let cool. Once cool, skim off bubbly layer on top. Strain into a glass bottle and add 1/2 part cognac, shake to combine.
Check out some more of Jamie Boudreau’s cocktails on Raising the Bar on Small Screen Network or visit him at Canon Seattle.
Many of us haven’t had the opportunity to spend time in an American soda fountain or try the delicious drinks they serve up, but with the help of this infographic, we can at least see the differences between the drinks commonly found at one. Beverage infographics FTW.
The Discovery Channel will debut Moonshiners this December, an all new series with a real life look at the moonshining men of Appalachia. Discovery says the show “tells the story of those who brew their shine – whether in the woods behind their house using camouflaged equipment or legally in their garages for local distribution – and the local authorities who try to keep them honest. The series show what life is like in the Appalachian Mountain region, a close-knit society where survival depends on resourcefulness and endurance. From hunting bear and raccoon to catching frogs and catfish, theirs is a world forgotten by modern conveniences.”
To me, it looks and sounds like they took the cast of Discovery’s Sons of Guns, put them in overalls and threw them in the mountains in Appalachia. We’ll see. Stay tuned this December.
