Massive 20-foot by 60-foot fermentation tanks – ready to be delivered to Genesee Brewing Company in Rochester via the Erie Canal – rest on barges on the Hudson River in Albany, where they arrived earlier this week. The tanks are a key aspect of a $40 million private investment by Genesee’s parent company, North American Breweries, to create one of the most advanced brewing systems in the world at the Genesee Brewery. Each of the 12 tanks being delivered has an operating capacity of 2,000 barrels of beer, equivalent to approximately 661,440 12 oz. beers. (Genesee Brewing Company)
