ROCHESTER, NY , Aug. 12, 2020 – The OG of Cream Ales recently surveyed Genesee beer fans about the OG of music – vinyl records.

The research team at Genesee Cream Ale’s brewery compiled the results to create the ultimate eclectic list for vinyl record store junkies. Genesee is encouraging fans to support local record stores in their area by purchasing a vinyl record on the list, cracking open Cream Ale beer and spinning their favorite tunes to celebrate Vinyl Record Day throughout the entire month of August.

In fact, they recently inspired our limited release Black Raspberry Cream Ale that sold out in four minutes and included graphics from their store decor!”

Genesee Cream Ale: An American Original
First brewed at the Genesee Brewery in 1960, Cream Ale is one of only three beer styles that originated in the United States. Crisp, full flavored and slightly sweet, this Original combines the best parts of an ale and lager into one smooth brew. Unique to the style, Cream Ale is brewed with ale yeast at lager temperatures. This creates the crisp, smooth quality the beer is known for. Since its conception, the Original Cream Ale has racked up numerous awards including 10 Great American Beer Festival medals, three World Beer Cup medals and a silver at the International Beer Festival.
