Fan favorite and 2014 Odessa Brewbracket Champion, 3rd Wave, is heavy competition for Delaware's underdog Midnight Oil.

3rd Wave

3rd Wave is all about quality beer meant to be shared with friends, offering a full selection of wheat beers, IPAs, and porters. 3rd Wave lives by the credo "Good Friends, Good Waves, Great Beer" which shines through in their beer menu. Try their 1st Wave IPA, an American style IPA with a deep golden color and hop bitterness balanced by malty sweetness. 

Midnight Oil

As you might suspect, the beers produced by Midnight Oil are best enjoyed at the end of a day of hard productive work. Midnight Oil is dedicated to working hard and working late to provide others who work hard and late with the most enjoyable and refreshing beers, like their Impulse IPA and XII Pale Ale.
