VICTORIA, BC – To help mark the waning days of summer, Phillips Brewing have just released Hudson Light Kölsch, a crisp and refreshing golden beer brewed to 5% abv.
The name and label are in honour of Hudson Mack, anchorman on ‘A’ Vancouver Island and a staple of the Victoria news community. Full proceeds from the beer are going towards ‘A’ Vancouver Island’s charitable initiatives, one of which is the Tour de Rock, where Hudson will be proudly cycling Vancouver Island starting on September 19 to help raise money for cancer research.
Hudson Light is a limited-edition beer, available in 650ml bottles at cold beer and wine stores throughout Victoria and at the brewery.

- Greg C. is drinking a Hickson Porter Baltique by Brasserie Les 2 Frères at King & Dufferin2016 bottle. A bit oxidized but it works with the strong & malty beer. Dark caramel, coffee, burnt hazelnut, warm finish.
- Greg C. is drinking a 100th Meridian Organic Amber Lager by Mill Street Brewery at King & DufferinI agree with my assessment of the pre-organic version in Nov - it’s not as flavourful as in its early days. Perhaps even less so now.
- Greg C. is drinking a Bumo (Version IV) by Burdock at King & DufferinNotes of red wine, cherry wood, fruit gums, elegant funk. Pretty special stuff.
- Greg C. is drinking a Peach Uber by Nickel Brook Brewing Co. at King & DufferinMy lack of enthusiasm for peach beverages makes this my least favourite Uber. But that said, it’s still a very good sour. Just not my thing.
