I can't find my only favorite "commercial beer" in stores anymore!!! They tell me Genny got bought out by Budweiser or something like that. Is it going to come back? Pleeeease?
What happened to Genesee Cream Ale?

At my local bev center, I just saw a 24 pack "sampler" of Genesse (8x Cream Ale, 8x Genny Red, 8x Genny 12 Horse) for $9.99. It's called the "Heritage Collection." Hah!

Well I just got it back in my area (but not all the stores, just one so far). It took them more then 6 months. It got a new label, a throw-back to a historical label from years ago (I think it sucks). I hope it is the same beer, I still can't find any Genesee Bock, but I'm asking for it.
My friends dad wants me to brew a clone of this...anyone know of a solid recipe? It seems like a northeast coast thing...making it impossible to find in the southernmost point.

I'm just shooting in the dark here, I never tried to clone it, but my first guess would be like this:
10% Munich
30% Flaked Rice/Flaked Maze
60% 2-row or 2 and 6 row mix.
yeast: American Lager, fermented mostly high, about 60-62F
Hops Hallertau, IBU is low, my guess is about 15-17
ABV is 5%, so OG must be about 1.048
FG must be low, they mention on the website they do krausening, wich makes the beer finish with a low FG.

Just a drank a six-pack while smoking a meatloaf.
It's my go to beer for smoking!

Man, I can't imagine how big of a corn cob pipe one would need to smoke a meatloaf.
This sounds obscene.
Great entertainer, but overly emotional.

Did you note how the quote got shorter as it went along? That was my schtick.
I'm pretty sure he was playing to the Schtick. Personally, I would do anything for love (but I wont do that).

Sorry if I find it hard to have sympathy here TS.
Anyone want to guess how much a 6er of Descutes set me back yesterday? I'm in Vancouver, BC.
Not exactly a clone, but the cream of 3 crops recipe is similar and quite tasty. Here's a link: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f62/cream-three-crops-cream-ale-66503/.
Had a spring party yesterday (to celebrate the coming of summer as well as some birthdays) and I had 9 different home brews there. I brewed this up for the first time (as well as a few others) to have some easy to drink choices. This turned out quite tasty, and in fact I just had one a few minutes ago!

Genny Bock is my go-to cheap beer, but cream ale is pretty good. The liquor store across the street from me stocks it.

Something like $40 for a quarter (pony keg), $60 for a half here in upstate NY. The best local place was selling the bock for $28 for a HALF KEG earlier this year (they get some overstock/special deals occasionally). I was so tempted, but already had corny kegs waiting impatiently for a spot in my keezer.

Man....brings back memories. My first really bad beer drunk was 30 years ago on 12 Genee pounders me and a buddy of mine found in the woods near my house. We figured it was a few of the local high school kids that stashed em there. At least it was early winter and they were cold.

Just picked up a sixer of genny cream ale in the stubby bottles. Darn bottles are twist offs, but the beer ain't bad. 5.25 for a sixer isn't such a great deal compared to what others are getting it for, but I guess cans are much cheaper
