Beer In Ads #2803: Genesee Rainbow Trout

October 24, 2018 By Jay Brooks


Wednesday’s ad is for Genesee Beer, which was founded in Rochester, New York, originally along the Genesee River, but in 1878 they moved up into Rochester proper. Their Genesee Cream Ale, in the simple green can, was one of our go-to beers when I was in high school. Since 2009, the brewery has been part of North American Breweries. This ad, from the 1970s, part of a series of framed promotional posters by artist Sherm Pehrson, features a Rainbow Trout fish that’s lept out of the river in hot pursuit of a dragonfly he’s hoping to have for dinner.
