Get out the vote and enjoy a new Genny beer as your reward
The polls are open.
From now until March 31, all you beer-partisan voters will be able to choose from between four candidates to see what the next Genesee Brewery specialty beer will be.
The competition is stiff.
Candidate one is Pear Cinnamon, which the Genny folks describe as a light and refreshing ale with hints of warm cinnamon and sweet pear.
Candidate two is Winter Citrus, an ale that will deliver bright flavors of citrus fruits like orange, blood orange, lemon, lime, and tangerine to the forefront of a smooth ale base.
Candidate three is Winter Berry, with light, refreshing notes of raspberry, strawberry, blueberry, and elderberry reaching across the ale aisle to work with pale malts and subtle hop notes.
Candidate four is Apple, which is a subtle yet instantly recognizable flavor of a ready-to-pick apple in ale.
Whichever candidate is elected will stand beside specialty favorites like Ruby Red Kolsch, Spring Bock, Cran Orange Kellerbier and other full-flavored beers.
The candidate with the most votes wins and will be released in winter 2023. To vote, visit http://geneseebeer.com/geneseefor23.
Braves Brews weekend in Auburn is nearly here
AUBURN -- The second annual Brave Brews weekend supporting the women and nonbinary individuals of New York’s burgeoning craft beverage industry returns to Auburn, Cayuga County.
“Brave Brews: Celebrating Women in Craft Beverage Festival” was inspired by the growing success of the local Pink Boots Collaboration Brew Day hosted by Prison City Brewing Co-founder Dawn Schulz each March. Pink Boots Society Founder Teri Fahrendorf will be in Auburn for Brave Brews weekend.
All sorts of activities are planned March 3-5, including special guests, specialty tours, ice carving, tap takeovers, and other events across the city of Auburn, some of which are free and others that will require tickets.
For complete event information, visit bravebrewsfest.com.
Don't party too hard; remember, you'll want to save up steam for the release of the local Pink Boots collaboration done at Young Lion Brewing Co. in Canandaigua. The special tangerine cream ale is scheduled to be released March 8, on International Women's Day.
Forks & Skis in Naples helps Foodlink
NAPLES – Forks & Skis, a 12th annual charity ski event presented by Delta Air Lines, returns to Hunt Hollow Ski Club on Friday, March 3, to benefit Foodlink.
Skiers can enjoy a fun day on the slopes while supporting Foodlink’s mission to end hunger and build healthier communities.
Here’s why it’s important: Within Foodlink’s 10-county service area, nearly 140,000 people are considered food insecure, which means they live in a household that lacks reliable access to nutritious food.
Cost is $150; $100 for Hunt Hollow members.
For more information and to purchase tickets, visit: www.FoodlinkNY.org/ForksandSkis.
