Toasted Lager Beer Review from the Blue Point Brewing Company
Toasted Lager Beer Review from the Blue Point Brewing Company Thumbs UP or Down: Up Overall Rating: 4 Blend: Lager ABV%: 5.5% IBU: 28 Brewery: Blue Point Brewing Company How the brewery describes the beer: The best thing to come out of a brick oven since pizza. Well, we've upgraded from our original direct-fire brick kettle, but our flagship Toasted Lager still has the same toasted flavor it was named for. Copper in color, our most popular and unique brew is made from six different malts, including English Pale, Crystal, Munich, Carapils, Wheat, and Belgian Caravienna. Toasted Lager's balanced flavor of malt and hops makes for easy drinking and the special lager yeast we use produces an exceptional, long-lasting smooth finish. Price: $9/ six pack Would I Buy Again: Yes The Blue Point Brewing Company is Long Island's only microbrewery. It was founded in 1998 by two long-time friends, Mark Burford and Pete Cotter. The brewery was inspired by their life-long dream and built from a rare assemblage of equipment collected from breweries around the country. Storage tanks, fermentation vessels, and other brewing equipment were also gathered from other breweries like Frederick, LaJolla, Red Hook, Pilgrim and others. The brewery's unique direct-fire brew kettle, dismantled brick by brick from a brewery in Maryland and rebuilt in Patchogue, imparts a lightly toasted, complex taste to produce a line of ultra premium microbrews. Located in the 1970's Penguin Ice Factory on River Avenue in Patchogue, Blue Point Brewing Company's 5000 square foot facility gives them ample space for brewing 10,000 kegs of beer a year. Kegs from the brewery are unpasteurized, and delivered cold to ensure they are as fresh tasting as possible-a feature only a local brewery can offer. Blue Point Brewing's delicious beers are largely the result of our commitment to using the highest quality ingredients. We meticulously examine samples and review reports on moisture, enzymatic content of various barley crops to select the best from Germany, England and Belgium. Some of our hops also come from Germany and England as well as the Pacific Northwest which are considered to be some of the best in the world. Canadian 2- row Pale malt serves as the base of all of our beers, and our laboratory carefully stores and monitors our unique American Ale and a traditional southern Bavarian Lager yeast strains.
