If you aren't completely gushing over the cutest kitten to grace the side of a beer can, well, you might be doing it wrong.

For those who haven't been following along with the tale (or tail) of Hudson Hops, Newburgh Brewing Company's adorable new brewery cat, allow me to catch you up.  The staff at Newburgh Brewing recently adopted the little guy from a Newburgh based rescue called Newburgh SCATS.  He's been with them for a few weeks now, and by the looks of things, appears to be settling in quite nicely.

Hudson Hops is every bit as friendly, daring, adventurous and awesome as Hoodie was… which means he fits right in with us at the brewery.

Hoodie, who was a familiar face around the brewery for quite a few years, was another cat rescued by Newburgh Brewing when a staff member found her trying to keep warm under the hood of his car. Hoodie sadly passed away back in 2020.

In true Newburgh Brewing Company fashion, in order to celebrate the newest addition to the team, they decided to whip up a new brew - Meet Hudson Hops is now available on tap, and canned, at the brewery.

Hazy and juicy, bursting with bright notes of raspberry, pineapple and grapefruit. A delicious 6% NEIPA that is as awesome as the cat it’s named for.
