Superbowl night 2016 (which was a while ago, sorry for the blog lag!) we went out to eat at
Mudhook Brewing Company in downtown York, Pennsylvania. It's located just behind
Central Market House.

Mudhook Brewing Company |
The brewery's restaurant wasn't crowded, mostly because they just started opening on Sundays and they are only open till 7 p.m. on Sundays (meaning patrons could only watch the beginning of the game). They have a nice menu of pub grub and a variety of their own brews for sale. I couldn't decided which individual beer to try, so I ordered the flight of beer!

A taste of each |
It was six of the seven currently available beers. Here are the descriptions of the beers from left to right in the picture.
- Wild River Weizen--a nice wheat beer that is refreshing and easy to drink.
- Redeye Irish Red--a malty beer with initial sweetness and a dry finish. Very yummy.
- Belgian Dubbel--Trappist-style ale that was my favorite of the bunch (because Belgian is my favorite).
- Tweed River Strong Ale--a Scottish Wee Heavy ale with roasty and smoky flavors. Not bad but not my favorite.
- Hook Bender Double IPA--a strong IPA with lots of hoppy bitterness. Not my style so not even close to a favorite for me.
- The Deep Sea Stout--chocolate malt and barley flavors with a bold taste. A great finisher!
The brewery part of the restaurant was through a door right next to our table. My daughter and I admired the equipment and did a little exploring of the Central Market.

Central Market, only open Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday in the morning and early afternoon |
In the almost deserted market, we ran into a lady cleaning up her booth. She gave my daughter a craft from the day before--making your own football. We thanked her and took it back to the restaurant. My daughter didn't have any problem waiting for food, which is more than I can say for other customers.

Ready to order beer or eat the camera! |
The meal was great and I wished that I could bring home the Belgian. Maybe they will start bottling in the future!
