What's your ideal day at the beach? Start with Dawn Patrol, enjoy the 1st Wave and take The Plunge. Don't get Trapp'd on the Cyclone, take a Beach Break, be sure to Seas the Day and, finally, enjoy a Sunset Peach

You guessed it—these are all names of beers from Delmar, DE's 3rd Wave Brewing and Brooklyn's Coney Island Brewing Co. Both offer fantastic beers, from the 2014 Odessa Brewfest beer bracket winner Bombora IPA (3rd Wave) to last year's most talked-about concept, Hard Ginger Ale (Coney Island).  

Vote for your favorite—and don't forget the sunscreen!
