Brewfest: One Month Out | Best of the West

There's Beer in Your Future

The 2015 Brewbracket

Mid-August means a lot of different things: being on vacation, lounging by the pool, getting ready for back-to-school. Around these parts, it also means the Odessa Brewfest is near! In less than a month—Saturday, Sept 12, to be exact—close to 50 craft brewers will set up on the grounds of the 1769 Warner-Wilson house in beautiful Odessa, Del. 

Last year's inaugural brewfest was a huge success, and this year it's going to be even better, with added vendors, delicious food, two stages of live music and a bigger footprint. Nestled in the heart of scenic Odessa (23 miles south of Wilmington), there's just no better place—or time—to enjoy good food & drink, good music, and good friends.

VIP Tickets Still Available

There are still a few VIP tickets available—but act now before they're gone! Last year, we sold out well in advance of the festival, and we expect this year to be the same! VIP tickets get you in early, with access to limited-quantity brews, and come with a $10 food voucher.

The Best of the West

Fans of the festival know that August is also prime-time for the Odessa Brewfest brewbracket—an epic contest pitting the very best breweries against each other as your votes narrow the field down to a final winner, to be decided and announced on the day of the festival. 

Today we feature the second round of our West Region. Help us decide who goes to the Elite 8 by casting your votes below:

21st Amendment vs New Belgium »

Lagunitas vs Sierra Nevada »

Note: Breweries selected are all 2014 Odessa Brewfest participants. Breweries are subject to change, and we can’t guarantee all brewers featured in the contest will be at the 2015 fest (but it’s a real good possibility!).
