The brewery hosts an annual Cask Ale Festival, concerts and other events in the brew yard.[5]
History
[edit | edit source]
The brewery was founded in 1998 in a former ice factory by Mark Burford and Pete Cotter, both avid home-brewers at the time.[4] In regards to the decision to open up a brewery, Pete said: "Other parts of the country had local microbreweries and we saw an opportunity for a microbrewery to meet the demand in the market between Montauk and Manhattan."[6]
Blue Point Brewing Company's flagship Toasted Lager won a gold medal at the 2006 World Beer Cup in the American-Style Amber Lager category.[7]
In 2014, Blue Point was sold to Anheuser-Busch InBev for nearly $24 million. At the time of acquisition the brewery was distributed in 19 states as well as Washington D.C. The brewery continued to operate in Patchogue, NY.[1]
In 2023, Anheuser-Busch InBev sold the brewery to Tilray Brands, as part of a deal that included eight beer and beverage brands.[8][9]
