In this Quarterfinal Round, Fordham & Dominion squares off against 3rd Wave. Both did very well in the last round, soundly defeating their opponents (Wayerbacher and Frozen Toes, respectively). But these two Delaware natives will have to face off if they hope to win the title! 3rd Wave won the #OdessaBrewBracket in 2014.

Fordham & Dominion

These two are hard to stop now that they've joined forces! Fordham & Dominion maintain their status as a Mid-Atlantic regional brewer, with their Oak Barrel Stout and Pinup Series brands remaining their most popular sellers. But we look forward to their Spiced Harvest Ale, which could help them win the Brewfest this year! Learn more about the brewery >>

3rd Wave

This microbrewery was established back in 2012 (ironically, if 3rd Wave were human, it would not be old enough to drink). While small, 3rd Wave brews 5 house beers year round with a variety of seasonal beers to keep their 14 taps full at all times. From backyard to brewhouse, you can taste 3rd Wave's humble beginnings in its American style IPA. With a deep golden color and a great hop bitterness balanced with a malty sweetness, their IPA would make the prefect drink to have while relaxing on the beach. This year they plan on sharing their 1st Wave IPA and Sandstorm Belgian Tripel at the Brewfest. Learn more about 3rd Wave >>
