Blue Point Brewing Company

What a wonder experience in the Blue Point brewery! Our bartender Christa was wonderful and helped us choose our beers with flights of beer! I love the summer ale and the toasted lager. My partner Luke enjoyed the Imperial (though it’s very strong !) Highly recommend! Also have live music often during the summer and excellent service. We also took home with us a growler!

A great brewery. One of the bigger ones around. Wonderful outside seating with an outdoor bar and upstairs seating too. All beers tried were great. Wings were pretty good naked with sauce on the side. Buffalo dip was good. Very chill/relaxing atmosphere! Tons of parking.

Blue Point is always a great place to come to. Whether it’s during the day or in the evening. Their expansive location caters to individual patrons, groups and families even with pets. The food is tasty, and more importantly the beer selection is excellent and ever growing. Shoutout to staff like Danae and Meg, they hold down a busy bar like no one’s business. Whether you are indoors or outdoors, Blue Point Brewing is a great place to spend some time and enjoy a no frills experience with loved ones. I’ll be coming back many times.

The oysters were good but I wish they can present them better. They did not look clean...I did not enjoy eating black residue (algae or mud?) and shell debris with my oysters 😵

This brewery hits all the marks and is my favorite to visit on Long Island. Beer is great, canned cocktail options are phenomenal (which is hard to find at most breweries), and seating options to fit your vibe. Sit inside/outside if you prefer a quieter environment to catch up with friends, and a separate seating area around live-music stage. Staff is always so friendly and they recognize the regulars which is a plus!

Good choice of beer, friendly staff and tasty food. Unfortunately they don’t have flights, but they have small cups.

I want to express my sincere gratitude to the employees here. It is truly a pleasure to experience the services you provide, John bar, Jax food, Michelle I mean I appreciate you all!! To many to count Thank you for everything❤️

We wished we lived closer. Great place, fun atmosphere, bar and high tops on one side, open tables and bandstand on the other. All the food was very good. Too many good beers to mention, 4ppl brown ale and the toasted lager were both excellent.

This brewery is awesome!! We had a work party here and the place was packed. Even though there were a lot of us, the service was excellent. We didn't have to wait for anything, including all the drinks people were ordering. The staff behind the bar, and the servers were also amazing! They were attentive, friendly and were never overwhelmed by our party. This place is huge, but the atmosphere is welcoming and energetic. In one part of the brewery they have a stage for bands, which we didn't get to see since our party ended at 7. I am not a big fan of beer, but the beers they were serving were excellent, and I discovered that I really love their Blueberry ale. We will all be back and look forward to another awesome experience! I was having such a great time, I forgot to take pictures :-) You'll have to wait until I go back again, or better yet, go check out this place yourself! You will not be disappointed!

A must-visit for craft beer lovers. Blue Point Brewery offers a strong lineup of well-crafted beers, a spacious waterfront setting, and a lively, welcoming atmosphere. The food is solid, the staff is friendly, and the outdoor beer garden makes it a great spot for relaxing with friends. Consistently a great experience.

What a Friday night at BluePoint. They definitely hold some great events. Friday was no cover -cover band "Blink 180-Who"! The house was definitely packed and later on service got a bit slow. One of my biggest pet peeves at bars is lining the counters with chairs, makes it super difficult in getting access to service. Bonus Blue Point had their outside bar open much less crowded but did stop serving food when it got too busy inside. Upstairs also had the West side of the building (where the stage is) bar open also. If you wanted to stand in line a bit there and listen to the Jams. We ordered the cauliflower, pretzel and some wings. Cauliflower were some pretty large heads a little inconvenient, and pretzel with everything seasoning... minus the salt, weird considering it's a pretzel. But to each their own the dipping sauces were great. And tropical storm Betsy cruised by with minimal mist, thank goodness bc the majority of windows were open upstairs.

first time coming here, and honestly not so sure about it. Went on a weekend so it was definitely packed on the outside but inside was decently slow. We ordered oysters and the birria nachos. I don't think the nachos were anything to rave about. The meat was not good at all, definitely was not birria. The kitchen seemed to be confused, there was about 5 workers standing around and we sat close to the kitchen that we could see our order sitting there and they still weren't moving. Definitely a place for drinks and nothing more. Table side service is not it. The ambiance is fine, your typical brewery. While it was good to bring our daughter for us to grab a drink it was definitely overpriced and not worth the trip.

Came here on a Sunday afternoon on a whim. Have heard great things about this place, but I wasn't too thrilled. It wasn't a great vibe, it felt like an empty, dark school cafeteria. It was confusing where to order food, didn't see an indication for that. I got the mango green tea which tasted watered down and had no essence of tea in it. My boyfriend got the strawberry lemonade radler and he said it was a good drink, but he couldn't taste a strawberry lemonade flavor and said it just tasted like a sweet beer.

Really chill place to start off your night in Patchogue. Service is usually pretty fast and sufficient. The food is delish and the electric lemonade is truly legendary. They also have live music often so bring your dancing shoes.

I am always looking for something out of the ordinary for beer drinking or ar least something out of the ordinary for me. Which I feel can be a pretty steep order. And if it isn't that then just a well made beer. Well, Steve and I were both very impressed with the Toasted Lager from Blue Point. We both have become lagerheads as time has gone on and the lager had a little bit of each we were looking for. Something a bit different and well made. Flavors to expect with this lovely lager is a well balanced sweetness, hoppiness and maltiness all combining together to make a nice, smooth lager. And yes, it tasted a little bit like it was toasted. Really a great lager! We didn't try any of their other beers to see if we were just as impressed but wow, what a great start!

Just went to cask fest at bluepoint and had the best time. Every event/experience there never disappoints. Love the Long Island vibes!

Yoooooooooooo THANK THE BUSINESSMEN IN THE WORLD FOR PLACES LIKE THIS!!!! Ok to begin this place is in an awesome location, so much to do!!! My biggest rave is how PET, thats right PET, not service animal, friendly they are!!! I cant thank you guys enough for giving pet owners like me a place to enjoy with our well behaved pets. At first myself, my buddy and my beautiful dog Kilo began by hanging outside, Kilo settled in fairly quickly and adjusted to "just hanging". It got real cold even though they have a ton of heaters all over outside. I decided to see what the deal was with bringing dogs inside, kilo is a service animal but i dont push the limits with people eating and what not, Kilo and i understand not everyone loves dogs as much as i do. "Of course he can come inside"...... WOW i freaking love this place!!! Fresh beer, dog friendly, staff was absolutely awesome and the kicker, you ready...... fucking dogs everywhere and i swear almost every patron was all about them!!! Kilo was getting so much love! We had french fries and some boneless wings, not even sure of the flavors my buddy ordered them, but everything was very good. Plenty of seating, lots of communal behavior which is amazing for socialization of us people and of course the dogs lol. Id suggest stopping in to hang they have plenty of stuff for kids and adults alike to keep busy. Games outside, room to roam. Thanks again for being an establishment that willing caters to us animal lovers.

Fun night listening to some great live music! It was pretty busy but still found a spot on a picnic table to snag so we could order food. Order at the bar then tell them your name and table number. The food came quick! I ordered Firecracker salmon bites - delicious and just needed Chulula for some spice on the rice, salmon and cucumbers. Their fries are great and we also got the double cheeseburger- good quality meat and nice and flavorful & juicy! The quesadillas were my only dissspoint but still tasted alright just dry.

What a spacious awesome place this is. So many options and of course we had the oysters and clams on half shell everything about this place is perfect. Very attentive too. We will definitely be going back.

This is a great place to hang out and meet up with friends. I love the outdoor hang out space. The staff are friendly and super helpful. The beer is delicious!

I stopped my the Islip airport location. The winter warmer hit the spot on this cold rainy day before my flight.

Service: Simple. You order everything at the bar, so it makes everything very simple. If you are sitting outside and ordering food, you will receive a text once your food is ready. I would recommend getting there early to get a table inside. Food: Overall, the food is great! Lookout for the monthly specials to see what is in season! Wings - simple and delicious! I always get the sauces on the side so I can get a taste of all the wing sauce. Chicken Poppers - slight crisp. They use a panko as their breading, so it has a slight crunch to the bite. Again, get the sauces on the side to taste it all. Smothered Fries - Best thing on the menu! crispy fries, lots of cheese, and salty bacon. Is there anything more you can ask for? Beverage: Disclaimer: I am not the biggest beer drinker. I always end up getting the Electric Lemonade or the White wine which are very good! On to my next adventure...

Great brewery with plenty of indoor and outdoor lounging areas. They host mini outdoor events hosting local vendors while you get a chance to grab a cold beer at outdoor bar. When you walk indoors you have an area to purchase 4pk, 6pk, keg orders, buy a shirt. As you wander upstairs to the bar you have open table and game tables to spend some time while sipping their great cold crisp brews relaxing. This flows over into a larger open room where they have food you can order along with live entertainment as you get a sneak peak overlook of their manufacturing plant...so clean and presitine, any home brewers dream I'm sure. As far as their beers I'm a fan of the Mother Pumpkin beer during the fall/autumn season and the Blueberry beer anytime of the year. This visit I tried their Calamari appetizer and it was crispy, crunchy and absolutely great bites while drinking any of their smooth cold ones. Love the infusion of the crisped up banana peppers, nice add! Totally appreciate all their staff and recommend this location to all.

what the hell yall got in these damn beer taps. my ass never been this damn loud before in my life the next day. i am full of gas and my boyfriend kicked me out of the house for farting so much. anyone else experience this the next day after drinking beers here?????????????

Have really grown to love it here. Many more GF beverage options. I even had a gluten free burger with bun and side salad which was delicious. The bartender knew I couldn't have the fries due to cross contamination as well as the mushrooms cause they were marinated in beer. Fun time hanging with friends.

Yesterday I decided that instead of going to a coffee shop with my laptop, I would "work from home" at the Brew Point Brew Pub. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by a formidable yet extremely friendly and down to earth bouncer, who politely checked everyone's ID's. I love that they take underage drinking seriously and am always flattered when forking over my license. The layout is wide open and has plenty of natural light. I loved that there was a ton of space to move around and feel comfortable, which is especially important during these weird times. If you're feeling active, they have air hockey, foosball, and shuffleboard and also a great view to boot. I arrived before the after-work rush and pretty much had the whole bar to myself for a while. Once it started to get busy, I found myself really enjoying the company. To my surprise and delight, no one seemed to mind that I was plugging away on my laptop. In fact, one fellow patron remarked "Great idea! I think I'll come back and do work from here sometime too." One of their aesthetic focal points are their massive windows which overlook the brewery operation below. It's so nifty seeing all the behind scenes machinery and conveyor belts doing their magic. On the odd chance you get bored at the main bar, there's also an entire backroom, which features even more space to hang out, plenty of picnic tables, an amazing mural and also their kitchen. Speaking of food, I ordered a burger with sautéed onions and mushrooms, on top of a brioche bun- it was gosh darn delicious! It was so good that I scarfed it down before the bartender could even ask me how it was. There seemed to be well over a dozen different beers on tap, so plenty of options for every palette. I went out of my usual comfort zone and ordered a "Mexican Chocolate" stout. I really liked it's smooth and strong profile and took my time enjoying it sip by sip. I could totally see myself coming here quite often. Everyone from the staff to fellow customers were all quite friendly and jovial, which really made for a great time on a Wednesday afternoon. Cheers to an awesome place!

One of our best local breweries on Long Island, this newish location in the space formerly occupied by Briarcliff College offers a great selection of beers and food inside and outside. The service is great and they have an enormous selection of beers in addition to their flagship beers like Hoptical Illusion so regardless of your preferences you're likely to find something to fit your palate- they now even serve a selection of spirits and cocktails. The food is also eclectic ranging from bar food like nachos, burgers, and a pretty spectacular oversized everything pretzel to more specialized tacos and one of my favorites, baked macaroni and cheese. The scene and vibe of the location is certainly a highlight as well with live bands, events, and a plethora of seating options.

We hadn't been indoors here and when we heard that our friends were performing upstairs we couldn't wait to check it out! What a truly pet & family friendly place! The dance area was filled with good natured folks dancing and singing along respecting each other's spaces & also kind of communally keeping an eye out that the dancing little ones didn't get knocked or bumped. It was like the most fun parts of a friend's wedding reception, with much better music! Oh, and the beer & food were awesome! Bonus: never ending pitcher of icy lemon wedge water for the designated drivers! Woohoo!

Visiting a friend in a nearby town and we decided to come here for lunch. Spacious brewery with a nice sized menu and non-beer drink options. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Ids are checked at the door and there's a ton of merch items at the door as well. Shirts, stickers, and you can even take a sic pack to go. The space is dog friendly, but as with any public dog friendly space, not everyone's pups have the same training so just be mindful of your dog interacting with others. We ordered the burger, chicken poppers, thai chili cauliflower, and salmon bites. All were very good and tasted fresh. For drinks we got the mango hard tea, blueberry ale, and my friend got a bunch of 5oz pours. They don't have set flights but you can do 5oz pours of any of their beers which is cool to be able to customize and taste what you want! The mango hard tea definitely tasted more like a hard seltzer but it was still nice. There's also various games to play like fooseball and shuffleboard on the floor. We came for lunch and there was a live band starting in the evening as we were leaving. Based off of the flyers all around, they seems to have lots of events as well. Definitely would come back if I'm in the area.

Blue point brewing company has gotten bigger and more popular year after year. I miss the old days when they were just a small brewery but now, I definitely enjoy where and what they've achieved. This new location is sizable, comfortable, and a great place to hangout. Bar staff are friendly, and willing to let you sample some of beers if you want. Plenty of selection, and unique concoctions. They also have a pretty decent food menu which really completes and offers the compete package. Definitely worth a try.

Great place for large or small groups. The beer is delicious and they have a nice outdoor and indoor seating section. You can see where they actually brew the beer which is really cool and the people who work here are super friendly. They also have pretty good food here as well and vegan options! Love to come here on the weekends especially when they have live music going. Highly recommend this place.

Took off a star for the long wait for food to come. Basically If you wanna eat inside you head inside walk up the stairs, at this moment Im looking for a host or someone, but there's no host I found a server with food in his hand and had to ask him how it works. He said just grab table, and order at the bar food and drinks all go through the bar. So you do have menus at the table you decide what you want then go to the bar where there might be a line most of time then order drinks and food. Then sit back down and they bring the food to you which took a while. All and all the beer selection is great and food is also great. It's just not very efficient for a first time visitor it can be very confusing if you are not as outgoing as me and go seek an employee out. Great chill spot expect noise. Dogs are welcome. They don't do reservations but i see some tables that say reserved maybe they do reservations for large parties ? I'm not sure. But the workers were great I can't blame them for timing and the place being busy they were very supportive with my questions. The food is also good and the oysters were very fresh. We got nachos and the salmon bites also that was good. The place looks good for gathering with friends or large group also just make sure you go early to grab tables.

Glad my fiancé and I finally made it to this brewery this past Saturday! It's my new favorite. - Beers are good - Food is delicious I was surprised that my burger was juicy and had lots of flavor. - The live music played all the hits. - All the employees were kind. The bartender made jokes. The gift shop employees were nice. I felt so welcomed! - Their gift shop had actual nice clothing. I will definitely go again but maybe earlier. There were a few toddlers running around.

Terrific new location which took over the old Briarcliffe College building. With Patchogue's business and enterprise renaissance this is a wonderful fit. Walking in we immediately noticed the fun atmosphere with super friendly staff. Clean bathrooms, and open air seating on upper level. Outside picnic bench seating too the day we were here. Our beers and food came out quickly. Can't beat a Blue Point Blueberry Ale, Toasted Lager, and Hoptical Illusion! They shucked oysters on a half shell were fresh. The sandwiches were delicious and filling. As were the starters. They also have growlers for sale to take a tasty brew home.

I've always had a love affair with Patchogue. When I was 18 years old, Patchogue was my fan-say date town. Over the past few years, I love the revitalization happening in the town. One of the changes is the new Blue Point Brewing. What did they build, a castle?! The new brewery is huge! When you pull around the back you'll see there are outside picnic tables. The inside bars are nice, hopefully we can go to back inside and drink a pint. The outside bathroom - port-a-potty are interesting, I'll leave it at that. Out of all the craft breweries on Long Island, Blue Point Brewing is at the top of my list. I love their seasonal beers as well as their standards: Imperial Sunshine, Blueberry, Pumpkin, Oatmeal Stout, Hoptical Illusion IPA, the list goes on and on. Besides the craft beers, Blue Point Brewing has some swag for sale! Hats, tee shirts and sweatshirts, all for sale to show your Long Island pride. Blue Point Brewing, the Taj Mahal of Long Island beers! I'd best describe them as beer loving folks who built a Long Island staple.

What a great place to go to on a beautiful day. Perfect for singles, couples or families. We loved the variety of beer and the bartenders are so good at letting you try. Do plan on spending some $$$ if you order food and drink lots of beer.

Fantastic brewery! Great atmosphere, incredible food, and the beer is on a whole other level. Place is family friendly and dog friendly, and the parking is plentiful. Great place for a bite and a pint outside on their patio.

Great Beer , Atmosphere And vibe Highly Recommend.. If you Aren't A beer drinker I recommend tasting different styles and if not they also carry awesome canned cocktails ,Wine and hard tea for a different choice..Cheers

One of my favorite breweries of all time. I love their beer, they have a ton of different flavors and styles. This is the best for me because I enjoy ales and sours, where my husband enjoys IPAs. The food here is also very good. We very much enjoy the oyster bar they have upstairs.

We had a great time at Blue Point Brewing. We were heading out East and needed a little lunch. We stopped by to enjoy the beautiful weather and sunshine. There was plenty of outdoor seating which was good because we were traveling with a toddler. The ordering system is good - order at the bar and then pick up the food when it's ready. There seems to be table service inside/upstairs. We had some oyster (great gun oysters were sweet and juicy and lovely) and the burgers with fries. The burgers were cooked well, lots of options, the fries were super crispy. Beers on tap was varied and we enjoyed them. I wish they had a few more options for non alcoholic drinks. Overall, great place for hanging out and definitely great for groups.

Fantastic food and drink I wrote my review for this pub under its other name Blue Point Brewing

This is a great spot for the summer nights hanging w groups of friends. The place is huge with different levels - indoor and outdoor spaces with live music. Great food too surprisingly! A lot of beers to choose from. It gets crowded on weekends.

This is a fun place to spend some time with friends. They have large cafeteria style tables. One side has a long bar and some game tables. The other side has the long tables with a stage that had a live music.!

Very cool brewary in the center of long island which offers some great brews and eats. This was the first time at their newer location and had a great experience. The newer facility is very nice and has a cool vibe with multiple bars on premise. Due to covid the ordering of drinks and food is all done on your phone which is nice and convenient. The beers as always were very good and there were plenty of options. The food was also pretty good but is rather expensive. Overall a nice spot to try on the weekend.

Terrible management and the bartenders are allowed to speak the customers however they feel without any repercussion from management. If you happen to have any issues be prepared to not be listened to or respected as a customer.

Came here on a Saturday afternoon. It was quite crowded...not just with fellow beer drinkers but with children, and dogs. Anyway... You can go right up to the bar and order from the various taps or if you're lucky enough to grab a table you can sit. My friend and I went straight to the bar at first..and then as soon as a spot opened up we grabbed it. A good thing about sitting at the table is that you can order not just food but beers too. We ordered the loaded cheese fries that were absolutely delicious. It was loaded with beer cheese and spiced bacon. And of course beers. Beers came out cold as yummy! There was also a live band playing that was pretty good. I would absolutely return for more beer and food.

It's kind of sad because I really want to like this place in Patch but I've been here a few times and I get "meh" vibes. I was willing to let my first encounter not sour my experience as it was COVID times and things were just so over the place with everyone. But came back semi recently on Sunday night and didn't have a particularly smooth evening. Sat at the bar at the edge which wasn't an optimal seat but whatever. But because I was being covered by a pole - I had to flag someone down for anything that I wanted. Food was all right - but only gorged on a few apps. Drinks were good too - fun rainbow cookie and coquito stout looking things - tasty and strong - how I like 'em. I told them to keep a tab open. Tab was not kept open. And had to dictate all the snacks and food we got since they missed a drink. I'm hoping to try it again and hopefully have a generally nice experience.

We tried the lager which was good. I love plain lagers. This one had a bit too much sweetness for my liking but still good. I landed on 2 of them. My husband had a stout and an IPA I think. He liked them. They ran out of the shoreline lager, annoying. They also ran out of some food items which was annoying but the food we ordered was good. Ordered the kids fish n chips and the kids handmade chix poppers and fries ni thought both were tasty and fresh. Then ordered a pretzel which was HUGE. a bit too much salt But still good. And ordered the Rockefeller oysters which tasted fresh and were good. Cool ambiance but you have to wait for tables and with kids it's not easy standing and grabbing tables first come first serve Also worth a mention... They mark your hands at the door which is annoying... we're going on the (almost) 3rd day and it's still not off my kids hands. I'd def go here again

I am really "picky" about my beers and Blue Point makes great brews, but nothing that would garner 5 stars. Is that bad to say, when they offer you your first flight for free? Of the 9 beers I sampled, the Mosaic and the Rocket Fool were best. What I would definitly go back here for again and again ..... for the most pristine oysters I have ever had the pleasure of consuming!

Bought a six pack of their Blond Ale with Orange flavor and my finance and I could not even finish one can. It has an awful flavor that tasted like cough syrup and had a burning after taste. Threw the rest of the six pack away which cost $11.99 and emailed their customer service and they never got back to me.

This is my second visit here with my cousin. The beer selection is perfect. It's December and they still have pumpkin beer (yes one of my faves). The food is all good. Everything I've had to date is delicious. The service is great. They are friendly and know what they are talking about. The atmosphere is perfect. Whether it's family, friends, or a guys night. This is your place.

Blue Point Brewery hosts a lot of great events involving beer and music. These events and vendors are always a great time! I like to vend at 2 events at Blue Point- "Blue Point Shakedown on Main St" held in April & "Cask Ales Festival" held in October. The Blue Point crew always treats the vendors and employees with respect.

I was quite surprised to see this place when road tripping for the 4th of July. I was expecting to see a small "shack like" brewery place as It use to be years ago... was shocked to see they upgraded to a massive brick building like this! Blue Point and their toasted lager is my favorite brand of beer so I am really happy they are continuing to grow. The brewpub part of the brewery is spacious and huge. It has a beer hall quality to it as it is loud, has long tables and they play music in the front. You can see both good views of the internal brewery and some nice outside scenery. Though there can be lot of people you're not "packed" like I remember was the case with the old brewery. I remember liking the food here a lot though it's a bit on the pricey side. I came with friends the last time I was here and we got the loaded fries for the whole table. Good news is the amount of food and fries you get fills you up a LOT. I would recommend not getting an appetizer if you plan to save room for beer. As you can image, the beer was FANTASTIC. They variety they have was all good in my book though I do remember the Beach Plum Gose sticking out the most. It's great to try the toasted lager again but on draft. What is also fantastic about this place is that there is plenty of space around the premises of the brewery. In the front you can play various activities like Frisbee games. If I were to give one criticism about the layout of these games is that its quite easy to throw a Frisbee into parking traffic as the parking lot is right next to the Frisbee goals. Besides that the Frisbee's are a load of fun with Friends. This is defiantly in my top brewpubs and breweries to visit. If you are ever around blue point or Patchagoue you must try this place out!

I came here to grab a quick drink, and I was treated one of the best employees I have ever come across. Frederick! You are killing it man. I can see you love what you do, and that happiness is infectious. Gave everybody attention and worked the entire area like you wouldn't even believe. Incredible. When I'm back at JFK, I'm going to ask somebody where Fred is at! FRED YOU DESERVE A RAISE AND THEN SOME BECAUSE DAMN FAM. A blessing to meet someone with so much passion and care for hospitality and for people!!! God bless.

I'll always remember my first soirée into craft beer. It started with a provocative-looking tap handle of a blue devil woman which emitted a light and smooth blueberry ale. From that point on, I was a fan of Blue Point. But things have changed from those days. Now, Blue Point has blown up to a level beyond a devil woman tap handle. Is it for the better, or worse? Okay, enough cryptic speaking. People, Blue Point's new establishment has officially opened! I was able to get there a handful of minutes before things got under way and waited on a short (but moving) line. An hour later, people were backed up to the parking lot, but more on that in a sec. Enter into the old Briarcliffe College building and you'd never know it once held education. Now, it houses a massive beer production area (plenty of windows to see down into it), a tasting room that is more than double the size of the old place, and the Brew Pub which is a monster of beauty all on its own. My review compiles everything together, but a second review (or at least pictures) of strictly the Brew Pub grub is probably needed. So where was I? Oh yeah, beer! Up the stairs and turn the corner to find that lovely new tasting room complete with about twenty different brews on tap. A couple of cask choices were on hand (Coffee Coconator!) to round out the selection. Though my first pint was their semi-sour but nicely-balanced blackberry gose, served in their new snifter-style glasses (which I gotta have when they start selling them). Things were off to a good start. Honestly, I didn't think I'd walk into this new Blue Point and think things wouldn't start off well. I never thought it would even be close to horrible. Yeah, I know they're not independently craft anymore and all of this growth came from a higher (possibly evil?) level of "beer", but I have to say I was impressed with the way everything unfolded. At this point it's just easier to list the little things I noticed, and really loved: -Despite the hoards of people on opening day, it still felt like there was room to move around while noticing just how many spots there were to place your beer. Ledges in basically every area made it easy to rest your glass. -People waiting to get in (once inside the barricades) could purchase a beer and drink on line. You could also tell that once things settle down, you'll be able to hang outside all around the front of the building. Plus, the garage door windows upstairs open and give you some much needed fresh air and views of the area. Awesome. -In the Brew Pub portion, there is a separate spot to order beers (everything except the cask ones) and a few others that weren't on tap in the tasting room. Gotta love the experimental beers that used to pop up and how they're still rocking that today. -Ordering three tasters at the end of my visit solidified the return of a big draw from the old place: your first three tastes are free. When the staff member said "we're good" I started to feel like things really hadn't changed. -Okay, I have to mention the food setup. I loved that you could order at a window or at a table (if you could find a staff member). I didn't eat anything but the menu looked solid (quick shoutout to the oyster bar too). When I do partake in some grub I know there will be plenty of places to stand or sit, eat, and sip, while listening to the live band. -All of the former employees of the old Blue Point were front and center behind the bars, pouring drinks, welcoming regulars of the old place, and running all over the brewery taking care of business. It was just nice to see that there was still that connection back to the original spot. And therein lies the biggest feeling I had when leaving from this new Brew-haven: Blue Point still felt local. Hey, I'm not from Patchogue or Suffolk (Nassau kid) and I didn't grow up going to the old location. I don't really have those personable connections nor do I know how things were and what they are now. I can't say for sure if all of these thoughts and feelings are true for every Blue Point drinker. But for me and my experiences with Blue Point? It's wonderful to see what they've become. Sure, I miss that grungy old spot down in (actual) Blue Point, but from everything I got out of what this new location has to offer and the local Long Island love I still feel in these freshly painted walls, I don't know how long I will be missing that old spot. Overall, I'd say Blue Point changed for the better. It really, truly seems like they put a ton of work into making this brewery amazing on every level for everyone while still connecting to where they're located and not forgetting where they're from. I can't wait to go back again and again (especially when it's less crowded!) and take in everything this new Blue Point has to offer. That blue devil tap handle will always hold a special place in my heart, but I'm ready for the next chapter of the Blue Point Brewing Company. You should be too.

Great experience! We arrived around 3pm on a freezing Saturday afternoon. There was a short line (waiting outside in the cold) to get a table. We were given the option to take a seat in the outdoor tents seating area or wait for a table inside. I checked the temperature of the tents and they did not feel warm whatsoever! Thankfully, a table for inside opened up and we were seating right away. When you step inside, someone checks your IDs and gives you a wristband. Someone else brings you up an elevator to the dining floor, as he tells you the COVID precautions and rules. The guy who brought us upstairs was very helpful when I asked for a sweet beer (as close as beer can get) recommendation. He asked the bartender to get me a free sample. I really appreciated that and ended up loving that beer- it was the Paloma Sour. For appetizers we got the big pretzel and the crab cake bites. Great idea to make the pretzel with everything seasonings. The chipotle crab cake dipping sauce was delicious- these are a must have. Will definitely be back!

Great spot to hang out! Lots of seating options. Good food and beer! They have different events that they do too
