Stopped in at Mudshark Brewery today for lunch passing through the area. The building is nice and laid out quite well, even looked a little to nice/commercial to expect good craft beers. I sat at the bar and tried all 9 beers they had on tap. I even tried the wheat beers which included a seasonal rasberry hef(Mudberry), a hef(Dry Heat Hef), and a wit beir(Full Moon). I am NOT a wheat beer fan but all three were very good, even the fruit beer! Surprised me, since I tend to keep fruit out of my beer as well as wheat.

The stand out was the IPA & their cream ale, both very well balanced. The red they had on tap was very good as well with a nice malty edge. They had two lighter selections, a blonde and a "Mud-Light" which was light enough to get Coors Light fans to order a pint. The only let down in my opinion was the stout. More of a porter, just not complex enough for my liking.

I did eat lunch here and the food I had was good, fresh and flavorful. Next time I am passing by this area, I will detour to taste again!

Great work Mushark, a true oasis in the dry lands!
