Hop Jam will take place on the last day of MayFest as festivities there are winding down.

"We feel like this is the crescendo, the exclamation point at the end of that weekend," Taylor Hanson said.

It also happens to be American Craft Beer Week and the day after another craft beer festival in Oklahoma City.

"That's where the idea came from, sitting down and thinking where we wanted to be and how we wanted to be a part of the beer community, nationally but especially in Oklahoma and Tulsa," Taylor Hanson said. "We're one of the new guys in beer in Oklahoma, so we have a huge amount of respect for those who have been doing it longer than us and really paved the way for people to discover craft beer in the state and in Tulsa."

Taylor Hanson said they will also be launching their beer MMMhops nationally soon, as well as premiering a new beer at Hop Jam. Many of the other brewers at the festival will have a special beer to feature at the event.

Now that Hanson is part of that beer world in Oklahoma, as well as a part of the music community, when the idea for the festival came, it was a matter of a few phone calls.
