Mispillion and Blue Earl make it to the Final Round of the #OdessaBrewbracket!  With an impressive voter turnout, both breweries crushed their opponents with well over 500 votes each. As such, fans need to step up their game if they want their favorite brewery to win!

Mispillion River

Mispillion River Brewing opened in Milford, Delaware in the 2013. While fairly new to the brewery scene, Mispillion River uses the highest quality barley, hops, water and yeast to produce the finest beers - which they claim "are for all drinkers, from n00bs to nerds, from Hopheads to Stoutfaces". While they only offer 5 year-round brews, Mispillion River compensates with 12 new beers in their Small Batch series. Notably, Mispillion won last year's brewbracket! We can only guess which tasteful treat they'll bring to the Brewfest this year. Learn more about Mispillion River >>

Blue Earl

Blue Earl Brewing Company was established in 2014 (by far one of the youngest on this bracket). Founded by Ronnie “Blue” Earl Price, Blue Earl features 12 diffeent styles of beer from around the world. 2016 is their first Brewbracket appearance, though Blue Earl Beers were very present at the 2015 Odessa Brewfest. This year they'll bring their Walking Blues IPA and Honeysuckle Rose Blonde Ale, both crowd favorites. Learn more about Blue Earl >>
