I stopped in at Blue Point Brewing Company in Patchogue, New York.  The stop was a great relief from a drive from LaGuardia Airport to Greenport.  Traffic was heavy and the stop was a blessing.  I wish I had more time to relax at Blue Point than I did.  I had to reach Greenport in time to check in to a boutique hotel whose front desk was closing early.  There was so much to enjoy, including live music, great food, and awesome beer.

The trouble with not writing this sooner is I forget details.  Of the six beers I tried, the Coconator was clearly my favorite.  Their oysters and warm kale salad were also delicious.  Each of the beers was delightful along with their great kitchen fresh food.  Coconator was a yummy sweet malty coconutty delight.

I greatly enjoyed a sign they had on the wall.  “In heaven there is no beer, that’s why we drink it here” is a line from a polka song I’ve heard my father-in-law play many times and I’ve never seen it in print at a brewery before.  I love it.  Not sure of the theology behind it but it’s fun.

I bought a few stickers and a t-shirt on my way out.  My only regret is that I didn’t have more time to sit back, relax and enjoy.
