Coinciding with the Cask Ales Festival, Blue Point is delighted to introduce its fall/winter beer offerings, featuring:

Fall

• Mother Pumpkin Ale: Spooky season is here, and we’re coming in hot with a refreshed look on the shelf. Mother Pumpkin Ale brings the same balance of pumpkin and spice that brings consumers back year after year.
• Oktoberfest: Originally brewed a couple hundred years ago to celebrate the betrothal of the Crown Prince of Bavaria, we’re helping keep the tradition alive by brewing Oktoberfest every fall for our most royal/loyal followers.
• Big Mother Pumpkin: Big Mother Pumpkin is back with a big, bold take on our classic fall seasonal. Joining the lineup as the fourth release in our Imperial Series, Big Mother Pumpkin is a 9.0% ABV spiced Imperial Pumpkin Ale reminiscent of a big piece of pumpkin pie with notes of flaky graham cracker crust, brown sugar, autumn spices and a subtle roast finish.
• Apple Crumb Pie Sour: Apple Crumb Pie Sour is brewed in collaboration with our friends at Jericho Cider Mill, an iconic Long Island spot renowned for its cider made from freshly pressed apples. We brewed this 8.0% ABV sour ale with their fresh apple cider, vanilla, and cinnamon to celebrate the start of fall.

Winter

• Winter Warmer: Winters in New York can be unforgiving. That’s why we brewed a tasty ale to keep you warm throughout the season. Overflowing with flavors of vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg, this beer is perfect for holiday gatherings, cozying up by a fire and sharing with the ones you love.
• Rainbow Cookie Porter: Back by popular demand, Rainbow Cookie Porter is making its way to the shelf just in time for the holiday season.
• Coconut Caramel Chip: I scream. You scream. We all scream for Imperial Blonde Ice Cream Stouts! Inspired by one of the coolest flavor combos of 2023, Blue Point teamed up with the Brooklyn-based ice creamery, Odd Fellows, to present Coconut Caramel Chip Ice Cream Blonde Stout.
