North American Breweries was formed in 2009 and is headquartered in Rochester, NY - home of the Genesee Brewery. At NAB, we take great pride in the beers we produce and market. We currently own and operate four breweries along with six retail locations throughout the United States.
Since 1878, the Genesee Brewery has brewed and sold the historic line of Genesee beers. Today that brewery also makes Dundee Ales and Lagers, the Original Honey Brown Lager, Seagram’s Escapes and many other beers under contract from other companies. We brew one of the country’s most popular craft beer brands, Magic Hat, at our brewery in Burlington, VT. Our West Coast brewing teams handcraft the award-winning Pyramid and MacTarnahan’s craft beers. NAB also owns and markets strong import brands including its flagship beer Labatt Blue and Labatt Blue Light.
At North American Breweries, we firmly believe that our employees drive the success of the company. With success in mind as the ultimate goal, we strive to create and provide an environment that offers challenging, stimulating and financially rewarding opportunities. Our goal, simply put, is to use operational excellence as a strategic advantage. This means “getting the right people on the bus” and enabling, empowering, and encouraging each to perform as effectively as possible.
