Light
beer launch
A tiny Hingham company is rolling out Edison Light
Beer locally this month, said brand cofounder
Rhonda Kallman. After spending much of her career
at Boston
Beer Co., the maker of Samuel Adams, Kallman
launched New Century Brewing, dealing only in light
beer,
which accounts for nearly half of US beer sales.
The recipe for Edison was formulated by light-beer
pioneer Joseph Owades, and the beer is made by
a contract brewer, Kallman said. A six-pack should
cost $5.99 to $6.29.
