I’m excited to see Blue Point Brewing showing off their new White IPA cans….looks like they are ready to hit the streets very soon.  Stay tuned.   This from Blue Point:

PATCHOGUE, NY – Blue Point Brewing Company, Long Island’s oldest and most award-winning craft

brewery, is proud to announce the official release of White IPA, their latest craft brew

and first package to be available year round in 15 states only in 12-oz. cans. A white,

or wheat, beer-IPA hybrid that is well on its way to creating a new style for the beer

description books, Blue Point Brewing Company’s White IPA cements the brewery’s

reputation for being at the forefront of fermentation experimentation.

While beer enthusiasts have been able to enjoy White IPA on draft in select craft beer

bars from Florida to Michigan since mid 2011, six-packs and cases will now be available

for purchase to enjoy at home. An unfiltered European-style white ale with a fresh

American IPA finish, Blue Point White IPA is brewed with malted and unmalted wheat,

finished with just the right amount of west coast hops, and fermented with German yeast

to give it a well balanced character with the perfect amount of bitterness. "We've never

seen a new beer move like this. It’s been such a challenge keeping up with demand

for White IPA on draft that we had to delay the release of the cans until after the peak

summer season" said Blue Point president, Pete Cotter.

Earlier this year, Blue Point Brewing Company joined the ranks of some of the leading

craft breweries in the country with the release of their flagship, award-winning Toasted

Lager and Summer Ale in cans this spring, helping to

change the misconception that bottled beer tastes better. “Canned beer is a win-win

for everyone.” said Blue Point co-founder and brewmaster, Mark Burford. “Cans seal

tighter than bottle caps and sunlight can’t penetrate them. They’re more environmentally

friendly, easier to recycle, lighter and cheaper to ship, and they don’t break. Now, craft

beer drinkers can enjoy their beer at the beach, at festivals, poolside, or anywhere glass

bottles are typically prohibited.” Burford added.

Blue Point White IPA cans are available in the tasting room at 161 River Avenue in

Patchogue and are on their way to beer store shelves in all 15 states of distribution:

New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, New

Hampshire, Vermont, Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida,

and Michigan.
