Genesee Cream Ale

Genesee Cream Ale (Genny Cream Ale) was introduced in 1960 by the Genesee Brewing Company of Rochester New York. This ale-lager hybrid, has a creamy aroma, flavor, and mouthfeel, yet the smoothness of a lager. It is sold in selected American markets, mainly in the eastern states. One can find it in bottles and cans of various sizes and configurations.

Genny Cream Ale is 5.2% alcohol and has 12 international bitterness units. It falls in a range that is slightly stronger than a regular lager beer, yet somewhat weaker in alcohol than an American malt liquor. This beer is typically priced at the "below premium" level and is marketed towards working class consumers. It arrived in Louisiana in November of 2014.

Winning multiple awards at the Great American Beer Festival and the World Beer Cup, Genesee Cream Ale rates among the highest of the mass-produced, American adjunct beers. I have tried it on a few occasions and can give it an unqualified positive endorsement.

Genesee beers receive no nationwide television or radio advertising attention and must market themselves from the store shelves.

Genesee Brewing Company is currently part of North American Beverages, owned by Florida Ice and Farm of Costa Rica.
