Yards and Heavy Seas continuously ran neck-to-neck, each taking turns with the lead. But in the last two days Yards pulled ahead by 24 votes to take the victory. 

Fans will have to come out in full force if they want their favorite brewery to advance to the Finals.

16 Mile

Discover southern Delaware beyond the beaches, and find yourself in a place that used to be 16 miles from anywhere. 16 Mile was founded in 2009 with the mission to brew bold session ales in historical Georgetown, Delaware. 16 Mile offers a take on beer that is steeped in the past, evident in their citrus hopped Old Court Ale.

Yards

Yards draws inspiration from history, specifically British inspired ales, and strives to achieve balance and subtlety through careful selection of ingredients and an unwavering commitment to artisanal production practices. You'll always be able to find a fan of Yards' Love Stout and Thomas Jefferson's Tavern Ale in any crowd.
