Delaware's Blue Earl faces off against Vermont's Long Trail in an intense competition to advance to the next round of the #OdessaBrewbracket!

Winner of the 2016 #OdessaBrewbracket, Blue Earl is all about "brewing for your soul," a lifelong dream of the founder Ronnie 'Blue' Earl Price. Blue Earl is Delaware's 7th microbrewery and highlights the unique beauty of craft beer - its handmade brewing, down-to-earth marketing and quality recipes. Try the Walking Blues IPA to enjoy a mix of British and American 2-row grains, with a small amount of specialty malts, brewed with Mosaic, Chinook, Centennial, Citra, Amarillo and Simcoe hops. While Blue Earl beer may be a fan-favorite, Long Trail poses worthy competition. Long Trail is all about experiencing a journey when you taste their fruity, full-flavored beer. Long Trail could surprise your tastebuds, with a delicious combination guaranteed to slake your thirst. Try the Green Blaze IPA, where big pine, tropical fruit and resin hop notes melds together with a light, biscuity malt backbone.
