Genesee Cream Ale

For many of us, it was with our Dad. Let’s be honest. A few of us first experienced Cream Ale sitting on our Dad’s lap. And let’s be honest again, for some, it was without our Dad. A whole bunch of us first experienced Cream Ale when Dad left the fridge in the garage unguarded.

Whether it was with Dad or without, time has shown that he was a pretty smart man. His choice of beer was a case in point.

1960: Genesee Cream Ale is born. Proud parental Brewmaster Clarence Geminn victoriously proclaims, “I think we got a winner here.”

1964: Packaged as “The Male Ale”, “Genny Cream” becomes the unofficial leisure beverage of playboys and social swashbucklers.

1972: A Genesee Cream Ale delivery truck is hijacked on a rural country road in upstate New York. The truck and its driver were found safe. The load of Cream Ale was nowhere to be seen.

1974: Highly collectible stubby bottles help propel Genesee Cream Ale sales to 1.4 million barrels.

1978: Multitudes steal their first Cream Ale from their fathers’ garages.

1980: A slanderous competitor starts a subversive rumor that Genesee Cream Ale is brewed by The Moonies cult. Cream Ale is vindicated as the disparaging accusation is clearly proven as false as it was foolish.

1988: Cream Ale wins its first competitive first place medal – a silver at the Great American Beer Festival in Denver (Cream Ale/American Cream Ale Category).

2002: Cream Ale wins its first Gold Medal at the World Beer Cup (American Lager/Cream Ale Category).

Genesee Cream Ale

There are only two original American beer styles.

We perfected one of them.

In the old days, there were ales and there were lagers. Ales were flavorful. Lagers were smooth. And never the twain did meet.

Until Genesee Cream Ale. And then the twain met head on to form an American Original with the flavor of an ale and the smoothness of a lager.

Cream Ale is unique. Then. Now. Always.

We skillfully warm-ferment Genesee Cream Ale with our own signature top-fermenting yeast.
During the aging process, every batch of Cream Ale is krausened to achieve an uncommonly smooth character.
The process results in Cream Ale?s remarkably creamy white head and a body that is far more distinguished than standard American lagers.

ABV: 5.2%
IBU: 12
