Blue Point Brewing Company, Patchogue, NY

Just one sip of Blue Point beer and you’ll find yourself at the boatyard hanging with friends, brewers, and a few seagulls. That’s because after years of brewing (but mostly drinking - don’t let our brewers tell you otherwise), Blue Point knows it takes a hometown brew to live up to New York standards. Our story started in 1998 with two friends who noticed a lack of fresh beer on Long Island and wanted to lower their bar tabs. We built a brewery on Long Island's South Shore in Patchogue, a tough and humble coastal town. The first beer we ever brewed was Toasted Lager, an American Amber Lager named for the original direct-fire brick kettle used to toast six specialty malts for a rich and unique flavor. Toasted Lager quickly became a beer New Yorkers could stand behind, taking home two World Beer Cup gold medals and earning a reputation as a beer you could enjoy every day. Now our flagship, Toasted Lager leads our growing lineup of easy-drinking and innovative craft beers.  In 2018, Blue Point is excited to expand our innovation portfolio with a new brewery just up the road on Patchogue's Main Street. This new facility will not only increase our brewing capacity, but will also let beer lovers experience the people and place that inspire Blue Point every day. And we're pretty damn proud to be a part of that.
