Genesee Cream Ale is a cream ale produced by the Genesee Brewing Company in Rochester, NY. The brewery was known as High Falls Brewing Company from 2000 to 2009. The beer was introduced in 1960. It is known colloquially as Genny Cream for short and nicknamed "Screamers" by people in Western New York where Genesee is based.

Genesee's brewmasters take an extra step of kräusening, a process in which finished beer is primed for carbonation with wort instead of sugar.

Genesee Cream Ale has won Gold medals in 1990 & 1991, Silver medals in 1987, 1988, 1993, 1994 & 2005, and Bronze in 1995, 2002, & 2004 at the Great American Beer Festival.

Also known as: GC Creamers, Cream Stones, Creamenzy Steins, Gennies
