About
Purchased by Tilray in 2022.
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.
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.
In 2019 we opened our new brewery on Patchogue's Main Street. This new facility will not only increase our brewing capacity, but will also lets 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.

5.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 6
Lightly hazy copper and bronze coloured body with a smooth single centimetre tall tan head on top. Aroma of rich hops that show almost more of a peppery and grassy bite than those of citrus along with some moderate malt elements and a dose of assertive grain and more of a lager yeast smell than any ale yeast. Light to Medium-bodied; Slightly fruity flavour at first that shows more of the pungent (read grapefruit and pomelo) citrus notes than that of oranges and lemons, but also some assertive drying flavours and grain more noticeable than some of the other flavours, but still packing quite the punch and profile. Aftertaste shows some dry grass and a lot of deeply citrus flavours with a lot more grain and malt flavours than anything else. Overall, not too complex, and showing perhaps more of an APA, if that, than any IPA, and the drying and malt flavours show through more than any hops, especially citrus flavours. Nice to try, but there are much better 'New England' IPAs than this one or ones with citrus notes at all. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can purchased from New Beer Distributors in New York, New York on 24-February-2018 for US$2,95 sampled in my hotel room here in New York, New York on 25-February-2018.

On tap at Batch Gastropub. Clear amber with medium off-white head. Aroma is rotten grain, medium body, low carbonation, and some small-bubble lacing. Taste is rotten grain sin and caramel.

Clear pale amber colour, small fizzy white head, totally diminishing, minimal lacing. Aroma sweet malts, blueberries, blueberrie syrup, bubble gum. Taste heavy sweet and light bitter, blueberries, lemonade syrup. Sweet aftertaste, fruity, light herbal notes. Light body, watery to sticky texture, flat carbonation. The taste reminds me of lemonade syrup with not enough water added to it...

Can. Asda. (This must be an alias?). Pale gold. Soft haze. Slim, white head. Nose has faint, peachy hop. Sweet grain. Taste follows suit, with an added tang of light sourness. Light body. Some acidity. Crisp fizz. Short (thankfully) lightly sour finish. I’d say this is definitely not a pale lager, although I’d struggle to offer up a better suggestion.

From Aug 2008

I got this bottle in a trade with jwc215. Thanks Joe!

It pours a clear pale gold with a 1 finger head of foam that shrinks quickly to a fine layer. Some lacing.

The smell is very light with some corny notes and just a touch of hop bitterness reaching my nose buds

The taste has that hop bitterness, slight citrus mostly just plain bitterness and some slight grain but mid palate on it becomes very watery and it has no flavour to it at all. Weird.

Light bodied, medium carbonation, the finish, again, to me tastes only of water and that's not going to make me want have another bottle, for sure. This one I cannot recommend.

On tap at the Big Hunt, pours a clear orange with a ring of white head. Nose is actually quite interesting, fairly dank, stinky onion, orange peel, orange juice, some soap. Flavor really lets down, soggy bread, too sweet honey/candy, orange soda, grass. Finishes sweet and a little oily.
