This English-Style Ale is Genesee’s most requested brew from the vault. Brewed with two-row barley malt, hops from the Yakima Valley, and Genesee’s proprietary top-fermenting ale yeast. This yeast was brought to the brewery in 1933 from England and has been used in brewing our ales ever since.

Since 1878, Genesee has nurtured a cult-like following of loyal drinkers who have kept the brand alive and thriving. This passionate community doesn’t just enjoy Genesee beer —they actively rally for the return of their all-time favorites. Superfans have consistently filled the brewery’s social feeds with calls for 12 Horse Ale to make a comeback. Hundreds of comments requesting 12 Horse Ale have been posted in the past year alone.
