Our hosts visit one of the original Long Island craft breweries, Blue Point Brewing Company. We discuss why we chose to highlight Blue Point, oxidation in beer and we include a bonus beer that won last years LIBME chopped competition.
Blue Point Brewing Company
161 River Ave, Patchogue, NY 11772

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.
In 2014, Blue Point partnered with Anheuser-Busch, joining its family of craft brands in The High End business unit. Our operations, brewing and management team continue to be led from Patchogue, N.Y. We’re constantly inspired by the coastal spirit of Patchogue and the hard-working people who keep it alive.
