Genesee Brew House Is Oldest Operating Brewery In New York

They say if it ain’t broke don’t fix it, and that’s exactly why some of our favorite attractions also happen to be some of the oldest ones within the Empire State. Up in the small town of Northville, you can find one of the oldest operating 5 & 10 shops in the country still up and running, while all around the rest of New York you can find other historic attractions that have been around for quite some time. If you’re ready to get a taste of our history, then see what it’s like to visit one of the oldest and largest continually operating breweries out in Monroe County. Check it out!

Waiting for you out in Rochester, the Genesee Brew House is a massive attraction that any beer lover will greatly appreciate.
