Genesee beer is brewed in Rochester, NY. So it may not be available that far south, but my buddy who lives in Denver is able to find it in the better stocked beer stores.
It’s definitely a cheap beer along the lines of Natural Light, PBR etc. if you enjoy pbr you would like Genny.
I get a lot of ribbing for drinking Genny, I’m not that old but people tell me they drank that shit back in high school in the 70s.
There’s a certain mystique to it in this area about it being a cheap old-timers hunters beer but they have made a lot of new stuff in the past few years. They do a lot of small batch stuff. Their grapefruit kolsch style beer is my beer of choice for drinking in the summer. Just bought 2 cases for $25!!
As for the sour beers, I tried two and didn’t like them. I had Victory brewing sour monkey and a sour beer from Troeg’s. I thought they tasted like vinegar...and I love vinegar!! My younger brothers like the beer but hate vinegar, go figure.
We’re starting to see a lot of small breweries and wineries around here produce Mead. It seems to be gaining popularity, I enjoy it.
