This round pits two long-time contestants, Delaware's Fordham & Dominion and Maryland's Heavy Seas, in a battle of brews.

Heavy Seas

Embracing their swagger, Heavy Seas brews 20 different beer styles annually. Always experimenting, Heavy Seas Beer makes a plethora of cask-conditioned ales and barrel-aged rarities, in additional to their expansive portfolio of award winning beers, including their Powder Monkey Ale

Fordham & Dominion

Fordham & Dominion, aka FoDo for short, is a union between a Virginia brewery and Maryland brewhouse. Today, their extensive menu covers spiced ales with quirky pinup-inspired names in Dover, Delaware. These two are hard to stop now that they've joined forces, especially with famously tangy and spiced beer flavors like their Candi Belgian Tripel.
