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 Venskab by Beau's All Natural Brewing Company at King & DufferinClose to 7 years old but still in great condition. Well carbonated, notes of pineapple and oaked white wine, dry & peppery finish.
- Greg C. is drinking a Wiseman’s Weizenbock by Mill Street Brewery at King & DufferinUpfront malty sweetness, notes of banana bread & raisin & cocoa & dried cherry, medium bodied, hint of booze. Well made & right on style.
- Greg C. is drinking a Heir Apparent by Lickinghole Creek Craft Brewery at King & DufferinPepper beers aren’t usually my thing but this is an exception. Great balance to all the flavours and abv is not obvious at all. Impressive!
- Greg C. is drinking a Tripel Thread by Kensington Brewing Company at King & Dufferin11 months old. I tend to prefer my Tripels on the drier side, but this is still a pretty good one. Tart gooseberry notes cut the sweetness.
- Greg C. is drinking a Monogamy (Callista) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinNot very familiar with Callista hops but they work well here, bringing notes of apricot, gooseberry, blueberry & a slight floral edge.
