The Kolschcumber tweet was an April Fools joke, but turns out the joke is on us bc like 99% of the people who saw it want it bad and now our product development team is talking about how to source something like a million pounds of cucumbers.

After talking with our brewing team and several environmental groups, we're bringing back the Genesee Draft Ball! They'll run you about $150 per ball, but it's a small price to pay for beer in a ball.

THERE'S NO CREAM IN CREAM ALE. IT'S A COMMON MISCONCEPTION OF THE STYLE AND ONE THAT I THINK IF PEOPLE GOT OVER THEY'D REALLY LOVE THE BEER. IT'S JUST A REALLY SMOOTH ALE OFTEN BREWED WITH ADJUNCTS LIKE CORN AND FERMENTED AT LAGER TEMPS. CREAM IN THE NAME WAS PROBS A MARKETING TH

Captain Kolsch will be docking at our brewery in the coming days for a brief rest after a long journey (he asks that you please respect his privacy). He will leave the brewery on 4/15 and will be sailing into stores near you over the following weeks. Make room in the fridge.

We've never been public about this but in 1978, a mysterious hole opened up in a wall of the brewery and Genesee Light starting coming out of it. The beer was good, so we didn't question it.

Opening up a Pandora's Box of "bring it back!" requests with this one, but here we go. The Genesee Draft Ball! Loved by many, loathed by others. It was a big, albeit short-lived, fad in the late-70s and early-80s started by FX Matt in Utica. Have a ball!

Ladies and Gentlemen: The Captain has set sail on his return trip to the US. His expected arrival is mid-April. He is prone to adventure and/or distraction though, so he may end up showing up a little bit later.

We have a bunch of 1950s Genesee commercials that don't have any sound to them. If we made them available, would anyone be interested in adding their own voiceovers and sound effects? You know, for fun?

You never know what you're going to find in your home when you start digging. The folks at Blue Bear Restoration in Rochester found this piece of Genesee history recently, from back in 1978 when we brewed an astounding 3,000,000 barrels! That's 992,000,000 cans' worth!

Raise a pint to Mike this Labor Day weekend. He works hard to keep the lines running at the brewery every day. All in, the New York workforce at Genesee is 550 strong, including 300 unionized workers. Thanks for making this place run, everyone!
