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 Wakaranai 4 Mixed Fermentation Lager w/ Sour Cherries by Godspeed Brewery at PharmacyWell constructed lager with mild funkiness and subtle cherry notes. I was skeptical about this one but it all works well together.
- Greg C. is drinking an Umi Gose w/ Okinawan Shikuwasa & Sea Salt by Godspeed Brewery at PharmacyAvoids the “super salty & sharply sour” trend seen in most modern takes on the style in flavour of subtlety and elegance.
- Greg C. is drinking an Otsukaresama Dortmunder by Godspeed Brewery at PharmacyUnfiltered version at tap takeover. Not as bright & lively as regular version but more depth to the flavour. And still excellent.
- Greg C. is drinking a Fruited Dry Hop Sour by Collective Arts Brewing at King & DufferinTypically good quality sour from CA, although as can happen with multi-fruit beers, the flavours are a bit lost amongst each other.
- Greg C. is drinking a Trash Panda by Parallel 49 Brewing Company at King & DufferinMore murky than hazy. Flavour is a bit muddled at first, but some nice fruit notes - peach, pineapple, mango - come through as it opens up.
