Stang said...: Hey, I'm Bill White! Guess what I found? Utica Club! Guess where I found it? Brilbeck's!; October 30, 2009 at 12:00 AM
I'm Bill White said...: Please put all questions in writing and leave them in a box on my front door. Thanks, Joe; October 30, 2009 at 12:04 AM
I'm Bill White said...: DID YOU BUY UP THEIR ENTIRE STASH? DID YOU WEEP WITH JOY AT THE SIGHT OF THEM? CANS, I PRESUME? OR DO THEY CARRY THE BOTTLES?; October 30, 2009 at 12:06 AM
Stang said...: CANS. BOUGHT MAYBE HALF THEIR STASH. STILL WEEPING.; October 30, 2009 at 12:16 AM

BernBabyBern said...: Wow, that was nice of Matt, letting his dad bat for him in the World Series!

Oh, and this summer I knew I was going to have a good vacation when I found Utica Club at a grocery story in N.C.'s Outer Banks. I was kind stunned. Saranac I expected, but the Utica Club shocked me.; October 30, 2009 at 6:50 AM
I'm Bill White said...: UC has deep ties in North Carolina. You can get six packs of bottles in Durham from time to time. I am still weeping. I will hit Brikbeck's the next time I'm in Syracuse.; October 30, 2009 at 8:26 AM
el duque said...: Breaking News from the Summer:

Genny Cream is back.; October 30, 2009 at 9:23 AM
I'm Bill White said...: Genny Cream is the Michael Phelps of NY beers. Lots of gold medals.; October 30, 2009 at 10:05 AM
Where Alphonso Got started said...: Utica Club was one of my first "clients."

I got to know the entire Matt family and a few of their scandals.

Early tag line; " Utica Club...we drink all we can...the rest, we sell."

You're welcome.; October 30, 2009 at 10:30 AM
dadlak said...: I remember UC from childhood days in central NY. (My dad drank it because it cost 99 cents a six pack).

The ad line then was "Nature's own beer, UC!"

Genessee probably cost a $1.19 a six pack. Company beer.; October 30, 2009 at 12:36 PM
OpusOne said...: I moved from Corning, NY to Blacksburg, VA in 2005. I walked to my new grocery store, which had a walk-in beer fridge. I saw cans and bottles of Genny Cream Ale. It took about 4 minutes for my mouth to close. Then, I wept. Then I bought a 30 pack for the July 4th weekend.

Was only in VA for 6 months, but that helped soften the blow.; November 1, 2009 at 4:15 AM
