Visiting the Genesee Brew House in Rochester

Along with the formation of North American Breweries, Genesee purchased all of the brand rights to Seagram's Escapes Flavored Coolers in the US. Seagram's Escapes are part of the Flavored Malt Beverage category and provide a variety of flavored alcoholic beverages. As of November 2009, all Seagram's Escapes are produced out of the Rochester-based facility. In 2000, the company was sold to an employee investment group, and the company's name was changed to High Falls Brewing Company.

The tasting bar is open Monday through Thursday 11am–10pm, Friday & Saturday 11am–11pm, and Sunday 11am–10pm and features a flight of four different beers for $10. You may also purchase growlers and crowlers to enjoy our beer at home. "Our Specialty line has quickly gained a cult following, specifically our Kolsch beers," said Tiffany Benning, brand manager for Genesee. "Our brewers love crafting new brews! We like to call Mango Peach Kolsch Ruby Red Kolsch's perfect summer match." In 2019, John Fischer retired from his position as Genesee’s corporate brewmaster.

(WKBW) — Genesee Brewery's Ruby Red Kolsch is a fan favorite and it has announced that Mango Peach Kolsch has been crafted as the "perfect summer match" to Ruby Red. Beer was a booming business in Rochester long before Genesee showed up. In 1857, one of the many breweries landing in the city, Reisky & Sky, opened its own saloon and bowling alley. This was the location that local entrepreneur Mathius Kondolf purchased and renamed Genesee Brewing in 1878. Its bar will serve the brewery's popular Ruby Red Kolsch along with its successor, Tropical Pineapple Kolsch, now in its second year. Another option will be Captain's Mix, a combination of the two.

Genesee Brew House in Rochester: What to expect on your visit

The Aqueduct Spring Brewery—Rochester’s first brewery—opens. By the end of the 19th century, 50 breweries open in Rochester, a reflection of the city’s vibrant German heritage. After spending 5.5 years exploring Pennsylvania, Jim discovered a love for New York and is excited to spend time exploring this great state and uncovering the best things to do here. However, if I’m being perfectly honest, I don’t find the beer at the Genesee Brew House very good.

In 2012, the newly refurbished location welcomed guests with lots of exhibits to show off the brewery’s past. In the early 1950s, Genesee gifted the people of Auburn, N.Y., with an iconic (and hard to miss) landmark. A 26-foot-high, 48-foot-wide Genesee Beer sign took its place atop a six-story building and lit up the sky every night until the 1970s when it shut off for nearly 40 years. In 2011, the brewery teamed up with local businesses to refurbish the sign with over 9,120 LED lights and relight it with a big festival in town. But Genesee has seen a lot of changes over the last 142 years, from Prohibition to the rise of craft brewing. Now part of FIFCO USA, the eighth-largest beer company in the United States, Genesee is keeping things fresh with trendy collaborations and dry-hopped variations of its classic beers.

Featuring a 20-barrel pilot brewery, a restaurant, bar, museum and gift shop, the Brew House turned a century-old packaging building into a New York beer destination. On September 8, 2012, the $3.9 million Genesee Brew House opened to the public. The 9,200-square-foot former packaging center features interactive exhibits and multimedia presentations that explore Genesee's history, along with a gift shop and a pub-style restaurant. We have 16 taps pouring the freshest beer in Rochester, and a bar handcrafted by Genesee Brewery employees from vintage cedar brewing tanks that were part of the original brewery campus. Our menu features pub style fare including our famous Bavarian pretzels. We have seating in our main dining room located on the second floor, as well as outdoor seating on our second floor patio.

It's a bright, refreshing golden ale that's perfect for cooling off during summer's hottest days and sultriest nights. Opened in 1878, Genesee Brewery (referred to as Genny by many locals) is one of the most popular breweries in the state producing a variety of beer styles. Since 2012, Genesee has run a brew house in a building that was once part of the original brewery campus and is located directly adjacent to the Genesee River.
