Description
The Genesee Brewing Company, based in Rochester, New York, is one of the largest and oldest continually operating breweries in the United States. It was founded by Mathius Kondolf, one of Rochester’s early entrepreneurs, after purchasing the Reisky & Spies Brewery (since 1857), changing its name to The Genesee Brewery.

The Genesee Brewing Company is since 2012 part of FIFCO USA, the largest independently owned beer company in the United States. With a focus on product quality, facility upgrades (including the relighting of the iconic Genesee Beer & Ale sign), conservation initiatives and employee safety, FIFCO USA has invested in the Genesee family of beers, its employees and the community.

In 2012 The Genessee Brew House was created to capture and share with you the long history of The Genesee Brewery - one of the largest and oldest continually operating breweries in America.

Can. Pours a hazy gold with a pinkish tint. Aroma is mostly fresh sweet grapefruit, with a bit of biscuity malt. flavor is sweet but also balanced by tartness, big grapefruit. Quite fresh, also a bit of cake-like malts. Overall a pretty impressive beer, though this is no kolsch.

Draft at Genny Brew House. Clear golden, thin creamy head, lively carbonation. Biscuity aroma, grainy, white bread. Taste is grainy, malty, crackers. Creamy feel. High school all over again.

Draft at Brew House. Hazy yellow pour thin creamy head. Light fruity aroma, part tropical, part citrus. Mosaic hops make an appearance in the taste, adding faint floral notes. Very, very creamy.

Roasty and bitter, big chocolate flavor but nothing sweet about it. Nice imperial stout.

Super-hopped and light on the fruit, it’s fine but not my favorite.

It’s a hoppy Genny Cream. Solid, but not my first choice.

Definite banana notes and pretty yeasty, but a fairly standard saison.
