Our Latest Hollywood Star: Genny Cream Ale
Philip Seymour Hoffman isn't the only local product making waves in Hollywood. I saw 'A History of Violence' this past weekend and, as your Man About Town, I highly recommend it. Not only is it a good flick, but a fine local product has a very small but highly important role in the film. Viggo Mortensen, who hails from Watertown, NY, walks into a bar in Philadelphia and orders a beer. But not just any beer. He says to the bartender, "Genny Cream" and not only does the bartender not laugh in his face, he goes and gets a pint of our local award-winning brew. Damn it looked tasty. Beyond that, there is a Genny Cream Ale sign in the background too. If only there were Oscars for best product placement...
