While in Rochester, NY last week I found the Genesee Ale House. I believe they re-purposed a building on the company's grounds in the last few years, with a restaurant on the second floor and beer garden and museum/gift shop on the first floor. The museum has some campy memorabilia, including industrial-era posters and cheesecake ads featuring girls fishing while drinking beer.
Scale models depict the factory complex and a beer wagon pulled by horses -- did Gennie 12 Horse Ale have the jump on Budweiser's Clydesdales?
