Mountain Brew Beer Ice–A Micro-Macro-Brew!!!

It occurs to me that I’ve been shirking the “fresh wine” portion of this blog, so I have an offering: Mountain Brew Ice! Let’s get over this little lapse in judgement with a fine beer, shall we? And, at only $2.99 a sixer, we should be able to discuss this affordably, don’t you think?

Stewart’s Shops, ubiquitous providers of ice cream and cream soda in upstate NY, have added a new beverage to their convenience/ice cream stores–cheap beer! Brewed as a contract beer by Genesee Beer company, this brings me back to my young college days–Oh, Genny Light! Oh, the fine and silky Genny Cream Ale! According to their web site, Genessee is the largest independently owned beer company in the United States, and has been brewing since 1878. While Sam Adams still calls itself a micro brew (although everyone pretty much accepts that they are a huge brand) Genessee still makes macro brew style beer on a micro level, exemplified by our fine Mountain Brew Beer Ice, found exclusively at Stewart’s.
