The mold is what makes it blue. It's okay, that's the best part.

Wait, on brie? That's not usually blue. But the rind is made of edible, yummy mold. I wish I had some right now...

the mold on the outside of soft-ripened cheeses like brie is generally Penicillium candidum (but it could be  http://P.camemberti and/or Brevibacterium linens).  The spores are added to the milk at the time of heating and adding the coagulant, and are what makes soft ripened cheeses soft and creamy.  

You can eat it if you want, although some people don't like the texture and just eat the paste, or creamy stuff.  

If the mold was blue, and it was a soft creamy cheese, the cheese is probably bad. If the cheese were a firm cheese, just scrape the blue off and eat the cheese.
