Cheers to Genesee Brewery, in our sister city of Rochester NY; they’ll have 12 new jobs on the production line by Labor Day.

How is Genesee offering more jobs when many businesses in the country struggle to hold on to current positions? They’re adding a 24-ounce can production line for their Genesee, Genny Light, Genesee ICE, Genesee Cream Ale and Honey Brown Lager, according to BeerAdvocate.com. I may not be a huge fan of some of the above brews, but I definitely dig Genny Bock (thanks for the recommendation, Deron!) so maybe one day they’ll even offer tall boys of this springtime beer.

Single-serve 24-ounce cans are among the top sellers in convenience stores, so this is yet another method Genesee can help put its brews back on the map. It’s one of the oldest and largest continuously operating breweries in the United States, so I most definitely support methods to keep Genesee around for years and years to come.

I wish the best for the brewery and good luck to those out there trying to grab one of those brand spankin’ new jobs.
