Well, I got out of chickens in December, and finished off the last eggs (from early December) last week. When the micro-flock was moulting, I've had up to 3-month old eggs (refrigerated, of course) that were fine - not indistinguishable from fresh ones, but not much different from what you get from the store - no trace of rotten or off, just old and large air sacks. As far as I recall from other research, the freshest you'll ever see in most stores is about 3 weeks.

Then again, the micro-flock was hatched from the nano-flock (any smaller and there would not be any eggs that hatch) and it turns out that carefully handled eggs stored at room temperature with a certain degree of care and daily tilting are plenty fresh to be incubated and hatch out chicks (had to accumulate enough to bother incubating - did a bit of research.)

I was perfectly happy to see them go to someone else that wanted to do some more serious chicken-raising. Getting them through the winter is a fair bit of work without a barn or large coop.

While visiting Trapeze networks a few years ago, I happened to notice their kitchen area, which contained about 10 jars this size, filled with various types of bulk candy. The brain needs lots of carbs.

And they seem to still be in business!

Do they still make it? I always used to buy 30-packs of Genesee Cream Ale and Genny Red, and once in a while I found Genesee Bock, which was by far my favorite. But first they discontinued the Red, and then the Genny Cream disappeared. For a while they had just plain Genny Beer and Genny Light, which were OK, but then the liquor store said it was no longer available. Maybe special order, but only the Genny Red and the Bock would be worth it.

Typical engineer/programmer diet - coke, chocolate, pizza. Loads of sugar, carbs and caffeine. Probably the best commonly available brain stimulants.

These days I have to cut back on the junk nibbling, and supplement on occasion with Modafinil.

Ah, Genesee Cream... certainly the most popular brew at my alma mater (RIT) which isn't surprising since the college and brewery were not far distant from one another.

The brewery has been through several sets of corporate hands over the past decade or so, and a couple of name changes... they were renamed "High Falls Brewing Company" in 2000, and then back to "Genesee Brewing Company" in 2009.

It looks as if they're regularly brewing several different beers under their own brand name (including Genesse Cream Ale), and brew honey-brown, pale bock, pale ale, porter, wheat, and IPA under the Dundee brand label, plus some seasonal beers (including Genesse Bock). No red, though, as far as Wikipedia shows.

When you are having as much fun as I am learning to make all this work and enjoying the results, that can happen. :)

I sure hope they don't get their water from the Genesse River.

Genny is well regarded as the "Green Death".

Genessee tastes like it - no purification needed.

Could you point to some documentation?

Do you run it on kerosene?

Battery acid!

I'm well over 40, and I've never been able to stand them.

Ditto all around. A serious circuit design can run through a half dozen dark Ritter Sport bars and half a pound of Peets coffee beans.

But intraveniously is excessive.

Yeah, "Hogan's" (The hole in the wall Deli/minimart/country store) that lives at the bottom of my hill stocks the regular, light and I've also seen 30 packs of Genny Cream. (Everyone's first beer in western NY.) So they are certainly still making the Genny Cream. They are also brewing a pale ale at the same Rochester brewery that is not bad... though the name escapes me at the moment.

Where else? The Genesee goes through Letchworth Park, which is beautiful. Come in the Autumn.
