Rochester, N.Y. (May 4, 2026)  Founded in 1878, Genesee BreweryNew York States oldesthas introduced a refreshed look across its core beer portfolio. Developed in partnership with New York Citybased creative studio Sister Mary, the updated packaging delivers a sharp, cohesive look to honor the grit, pride, and long-standing legacy that defines the Genesee brand.

Genesee means a lot to Rochesterians and to the people across the Northeast who grew up with the brand, said Jaime Polisoto, Genesee brand director. This packaging evolution builds on that deep loyalty while inviting a broader audience indelivering a look thats more modern and confident, yet still unmistakably Genesee. Weve elevated the brand without losing the accessibility and value our fans count on, especially as todays consumers become more price conscious.

Sister Mary explored nearly 150 years of archives to rediscover what makes Genesee, Genesee. The result: Behind the Seena design approach that shines a light on the brewers, workers, and everyday fans whove built the brand over generations.

The refresh puts Genesees most recognizable elements front and center, including the iconic red eye, classic typography, and heritage detailsnow sharper, bolder, and easier to spot. A refreshed logo, refined symbols, and added storytelling toucheslike brewers notes and illustrations of the brewerybring a stronger sense of character and authenticity to every can and pack.

The design balances bold restraint with rich detail, said Leigh Chandler, Sister Mary creative director. From afar its confident and unmistakable; up close, it reveals the story behind the beer.

The new Genesee Beer primary and secondary packs are rolling out now at retail and convenience stores across the Northeast.
