Apart of the Heritage Collection, which is a 12 pack of Genny Cream Ale, Genny, and of course Genny 12 Horse Ale, a friend of mine was nice enough to give me a bottle 12 Horse Ale for me to try. The best explaination I have in regards to taste; 12 Horse has a malty characteristic, medium bitterness, a body that reminds me of a lager, and truly a highly drinkable beer ( meaning you can have more 2 or more and not get bored with it).
Reintroduced to the market recently, Genny 12 Horse Ale was taken off the market by its previous owners for various reasons, and is now all the buzz because this nostolgic beer brings back great memories everyone who enjoyed it. Many of those who had 12 Horse Ale in the past have been raving about its comeback thus introducing a new generation of beer enthusiasts to what had should have never been lost. Genesee Brewery states that 12 Horse Ale is an English Style Ale with a moderate alcohol content of 5.1%. Other known English Style Ales are Bass Ale and Newcastle Brown Ale. One thing that needs to be mentioned, the bottle that the beers from the Heritage Collection come in are unique in that they are shorter, more barrel like bottles with no neck. If you have had a Red Stripe beer before or know what the bottle looks like, it is one in the same.

“Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy...Ben Franklin”
Over the past 5 years, it seems that beer has become a way of life for me. Gone are the college years of drinking whatever beer was put int my hand without a care of how good it tasted (more alcohol please!). Today, my pallet has expanded, with a smidge of sophistication, to truly enjoy the complexity of god's nectar. As my quest to explore the various types of beers from local micro breweries to the internationally known, my scientific curiousity got the best of me and I found myself entering the world of homebrewing. After interning at my local brewery for a couple of months, I graduated from kits to building my own mini brewery in my garage so that I can brew like the big boys. As a side note, I just want to thank my wife for letting me take over the garage so that I can make my All-Grain brews and keep my friends and neighbors happy.
As often as I can, I will publish my adventures of homebrewing as well as give beer reviews, discuss beer culture and hopefully get a few recipes for food with beer pairings.
With this post, I will say that this Saturday, I will be brewing an All Grain, 6-Malt Amber Ale so be ready for my update along with my recipe. Also, I will be trying Genesee Brewery's 12 Horse Ale so be on the lookout for that review.
