Mudhook Brewing Company Is Up for Sale as Founder Jeff Lau Prepares to Retire

As we reported earlier in the year (on January 25th when we saw the Facebook Marketplace ad and reached out to them) (see article: Mudhook Brewing Quietly Listed for Sale), it has now reached the ‘official’ status of the sales process as Mudhook Brewing just moments ago announced their sale via social media.

Mudhook Brewing Company is located at: Central Market House  – 34 N Cherry Ln, York, PA 17401. Mudhook Brewing Company is a casual, family-owned brewpub located at 34 North Cherry Lane in York, Pennsylvania.

For Sale

After 15 years of brewing beer, serving food, hosting parties and becoming part of York’s craft beer story, Mudhook Brewing Company is officially up for sale.

Founder Jeff Lau is preparing to retire, putting the established York brewpub, along with its restaurant equipment and bar supplies, on the market. The announcement was made this week on social media, with the hope that a new owner will step in and carry Mudhook into its next chapter while keeping its place in the York beer community alive.

Mudhook Brewing Company opened its doors in York, Pennsylvania, in 2010, arriving during the early wave of breweries that helped establish York as a destination for craft beer.

Over the past decade and a half, Lau grew Mudhook from a small local brewery into a longtime downtown gathering place. The brewpub became known not only for its house-brewed beers, but also for its pub food, events and role as a community hangout.

And there was certainly no shortage of reasons to stop in.

Mudhook built a following around events such as its annual beach party, New Year’s Eve pint drop, scavenger hunts, bar crawls, St. Patrick’s Day party, Mug Club, First Fridays and Piano Man.

Those events, along with the beer and food, helped make Mudhook more than simply another place to grab a pint. For 15 years, it has been part of York’s evolving beer scene.

As Mudhook put it in the announcement:

“Energy and creativity was what got Mudhook started and now that is what is needed to keep it going,” Mudhook said in its sale announcement.

And that may be the biggest question facing Mudhook now: who will bring that energy and creativity into the next 15 years?

For the right buyer, the opportunity is already sitting there. Mudhook comes with 15 years of history, an established brewpub, equipment, an existing customer base and a name that has become familiar to generations of York-area beer drinkers.

This isn’t necessarily the end of Mudhook Brewing Company. Rather, it could be the beginning of a new chapter.

Anyone interested in learning more about the sale can check out the listing or call 717-870-6246 with questions or inquiries.

For those of us who have spent years following Pennsylvania’s craft beer scene, seeing a longtime brewery like Mudhook go up for sale is always a little bittersweet. But if the right person comes along, perhaps the next 15 years of Mudhook’s story are just getting ready to begin.

We are working on a massive project here at The Beer Thrillers. We are creating a map of all of the breweries across the United States. State by state we are adding maps of all of the different states with every brewery in each state.
