Bad Feeling Magazine Podcast #5 with Johnny Hanson of The Hanson Brothers / No Means No

“Beer does not need grapefruit in it!” – Johnny Hanson

Beer and hockey have always gone hand in hand, so it should be no surprise that the Slapshot-inspired, Ramones-worshiping Hanson Brothers frontman Johnny Hanson would be into crafting his own brew.

Hanson (né John Wright) is no newcomer to home brewing. The Hanson Brothers have sang the praises of home brewing in the past, and Hanson even released a home brewing guide on VHS back in the 90’s (now compiled on the It’s A Living release).

Hanson recently teamed up with Quebec micro-brewery La Trou du Diable to release Punk Rauch, a smoked lager beer in the Bavarian tradition. We caught up with Hanson at the Montreal launch party for his beer, following a few too many “samples” of the great Punk Rauch.

We discuss the inspiration for his beer, the micro-brew craze of the last few years, the poison of the big brewers, and the future of No Means No.
