First State Brewing

Taking out the super successful brewhouse Sixpoint in the first round was surely a feat for First State. Next they took out Autumn Arch. Of course, First State Brewing Company, named after Delaware's status as the first state ratified in the United States Constitution in 1787, will proudly represent Delaware in each and every round of the #OdessaBrewbracket.  By crafting a variety of superior quality beers and ciders that offer more flavor, more variety, and more local appeal, FSBC creates products that balance originality with drinkability, using only the highest quality ingredients available.

Blue Earl Brewing

Founder Ronnie “Blue” Earl Price was the champion of champions as he accepted the covented #OdessaBrewbracket plaque in the #brewfest in 2016 and again in 2017. The Blue Earl Brewing Company, established in 2014, features 12 different styles of beer from around the world. Blue Earl is definately one of the breweries to beat in 2021. Either way they will have a tasty set to try at this year's #brewfest.
