Two Delaware heavy-hitters go head-to-head on this Friday. Last year's individual beer champ, 3rd Wave (honored for their Bombora IPA) faces off against Dogfish Head, a brewery that is simultaneously a craft brew classic and cutting edge (what else can you call a beer company that also operates an inn)? 

Two new offerings—Choc Lobster (yes, lobster is an ingredient) from Dogfish Head, and Sundancer White IPA from 3rd Wave—spell even more deliciousness from these Delaware stalwarts. 

Which will you advance in the brewbracket? And which tasting table will you head to first on Sept. 12 at this year's Odessa Brewfest
