The final two contestants in our "round of 8" play in for the Odessa Brewfest brewbracket are 16 Mile and Stone Brewing. Delaware's own 16 Mile celebrates the early days of the state, when towns like Georgetown were the only settlements for miles around. 16 Mile refreshes the weary traveler with Old Court Ale, Amber Sun and Responders Ale (in honor of first responders), among others.

Stone Brewing is well-known for its Arrogant Bastard ale series, Stone Runiation IPA and a mean smoked porter. This Escondido, Calif. brewery announced late last year that it is opening a new East Coast brewery and farm-to-table resturaunt in Richmond, Va., on 14 acres of former industrial land along the James River.
