New York Breweries History: Genesee Brewing Company
The Genesee Brewing Company was founded in 1878. In 1889, it merged with
a number of other local Rochester New York brewers to become part of the Bartholomay Brewing
Company, which lasted until Prohibition. After Repeal, Genesse was reopened again
as an independent brewer, one of only five brewers in Rochester to reopen.
Genesee's trademark brew for many years was its 12 Horse Ale, with a team of
12 horses pulling a beer wagon as its logo.
Genesee Brewing has one and only one brewery in all of the United States. Hence its slogan One Brewery, One Great Taste. Genesee distributes 8 beers under the Genesee name. Included among these are Genesee Beer, Genny Light, Genny Cream Ale, Genny Bock, Genny 12 Horse Ale, Genny NA (non-alcoholic), Genny Ice, and the newest in the Genesee line-up Genny Red. Genesee also markets beer under the Shea's Brewery, Dundee's Brewery, and Fred Koch Brewery names. Shea's Brewery brews Michael Shea's Irish Amber, Michael Shea's Black & Tan, and Michael Shea's Blonde Lager. Dundee's Brewery markets one brew called JW Dundee's Honey Brown Lager. The Fred Koch Brewery markets Golden Anniversary Beer, Golden Anniversary Light Beer, and Golden Anniversary Ice Beer. Genesee was sold in December 2000 to an investor group who renamed the brewery the Highs Falls Brewery. |
