First State has defeated Autumn Arch and Dogfish Head on their way to the Qs. Cape May and 2SP are now in Big Oyster's wake. Pick your best to move on.

First State

Fun fact: First State's Awkward Paranoia, their Triple Dry Hopped Triple Hazy IPA, clocking in at 10.0% ABV is not for the faint of heart. This potent yet quaffable brew features bold notes of mango, stone fruit, watermelon, pineapple, & citrus. 

Big Oyster

Fun fact: Red Killpack and Mike Anderson started as busboys and moved up the ladder to brewer and director of sales at Big Oyster Brewery in Lewes, Delaware.
