The brewery was founded in 1998 in a former ice factory by Mark Burford and Pete Cotter, both avid home-brewers at the time.

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.

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.
