Genesee Brewhouse Opens Sept 8th in Rochester, NY

Genesee Brewing Co.’s new brewhouse overlooking Upper Falls will open Sept. 8, a company representative confirmed Tuesday.

The local brewery first announced plans for the brewhouse and visitors center last November, eying an opening in April. But the $2.6 million project called for razing 13 Cataract St., the most stately of several century-old buildings the brewery owned at the east end of the Pont de Rennes pedestrian bridge. A protracted debate and approval process followed. The brewery did not receive approval until April.

The new location off St. Paul Street will include a visitors center, museum, a tasting room and a microbrewery.
