I loved Genesee Cream Ale when I was a teenager ...

Truly a great light beer. Growing up in western NY, I've had it many times.

Same here, it was fine beer, a bit offbeat but tasted fine.

My Dad drank Genesee Beer. Back then, they used to make Bock Beer. If I recall correctly, they only produced it once a year.

Mob Beer? Who can resist it?!

When I worked at McDonald’s as a teen, the manager would go across the street and buy a case of Genny Cream, pack the whole case on ice in a pickle bucket, and the 3 of us who closed the store would sit out back shooting the sh!t with the police while we polished off the case. Those were the days....

Always used to come back the next day as violent gas.

I still have a wooden “commemorative” crate of Genny 12 Horse Ale somewhere up in the attic (though the ale is long gone)

Many localities used to have their own local brews. I remember Stegamier beer and Gibbons beer from Pennsylvania, and the Old German beer from western Maryland. Baltimore had National beer, Rheingold was from New York. I don’t know others, but these local brands have all but disappeared in most places. Nice to see a comeback being made.

Rolling Rock used to be pretty much a local beer only.

Till they got bought out and went to hell.

I spent a good part of 1984 in Syracuse. $3.00 pitchers of Genesee, and steamed clams or Buffalo wings for a dollar a dozen were a staple in the local bars at happy hour.
