Jenny would make a special "Cream Ale" in the fall. Is the new old brewer doing the same? Falling Water is the new name correct.....
Genesee Cream Ale? To my knowledge the Genesee Brewing Company has only made one type... "Cream Ale" for nearly 48 years. I have never heard of "Falling Water".
Zweigle's dogs..... tried too get my local store too carry them here,"BUT" then need a huge customer base. So I contacted Zweigle's they said minimum order of 100# pounds bulk......... "O" well next time I'm up their I'll buy a couple of packs.....Their was back in 86 several stands around Rochester that just served white & red hots and fries..... are they still their?
Memory serves me their was one in Penfield....

I was under the impression from talking with people 8-10 years ago from Rochester that after all most 100 years that Genesee Brewing Company went out of business and the former employees got together and renamed it "Falling Water's Brewing Co." They still make some of the old Genesse product but also came up with their own special brews depending on the time of the year. I know when I lived in Rochester back in the early 70's they would have several special brews in the Fall. And their was a special "Dark Cream Ale that was produced for the fall.... Please correct me if this information is incorrect on the new name.......

Forgive my ignorance, as someone else mentioned it is now "High Falls" brewing but both that and the "Genesee Brewing Company" are both used in conversation as I am testament. However I did not know about the varieties of Cream Ale, and it makes me very upset that they no longer exist! I was not alive during the period you speak of!

Yes it was a great beer. Yes their Cream Ale is great. I could be mistaken on the Cream Ale........ I'm going too try too find the real name I hope. It was a special brew late autum early fall.....
Thanks!!!..... Geneva was one of my haunts back in the late 60's. Hobart ~William Smith and their lacrosse....... and the old fishing pier on the lake.
You where correct on the Cream Ale.... Here's a list. I was thinking of the Special Bock........

Genesee Beer. Fully kraeusened to produce carbonation naturally for a clean, smooth taste, "Genny" is brewed with six-row barley malt, corn grits, hops from the Yakima Valley and Genesee's exclusive botton-fermenting yeast. Genesee Beer was introduced in 1878.
One thing particularly interesting is an allusion to what became the reason for the downfall of Midtown Plaza and downtown Rochester - the fact that Monroe Co. moved its soul, money, and moral responsibility out to the suburbs very early, and that Midtown was an attempt to replicate suburban aesthetics in the city. Just 30 years later, McCurdy's and B. Foreman were gone and Midtown was a zombie. Monroe County was doomed to be a doughnut. Rochester never wanted to be a city.
Let's hope Paetec gets some new spirit in town with their project. But I continue to be pessimistic because of the ingrained suburban mentality - and the legal restrictions - of Monroe Co.
