Moo-Duck Brewery

My wife and I stopped in to Moo Duck on a whim while in the area yesterday and I’m glad we did. It’s a cool little spot, nice décor and friendly staff.
We got a flight so we could sample all of their beer (8 different ones), some we liked, some we could pass on but that’s how you know.
We also ordered the cheese and salsa chips. Best salsa I’ve ever had, fresh and full of flavor! And their cupcakes… delicious!
All of their food is either made there or made for them from a local business which is really cool.
Their prices aren’t bad, I’m looking forward to my next visit.

Unquestionably the finest place to enjoy a beer in Elizabethtown. Wide variety on tap and custom brews all the time. Great local food offerings (sausage sandwich is mind-​blowing). Also fun special events like Liquid Thanksgiving! I’m a customer for life.

I love this place. The people are fantastic, and the clientele are real beer drinkers and aficionados. I’ve had beers at dozens of microbreweries, and the beer at Moo-​Duck is the best I’ve ever tasted, whether it be King Slava’s Russian Imperial Stout, the seasonal Moo-​Duck Love, or a raft of others. I don’t love every beer here (the honey-​basil blonde is too medicinal for my taste) but I’d say I *really* like 80% of the different beers, and they’re always changing, with amazing small batches. The price of the beer is cheaper than any other microbrewery I’ve been too, and the taste is better and fresher. The food is limited, but very good bar food, with the cheese-​chili dog and the pizza paninni my favorites. Growler prices are also very reasonable. I can only figure that the people who have knocked their beers on Unilocal are either Bud Light fans, or else tried a style of beer that didn’t suit them. You’re not going to get better or fresher beer — and the physical aspects of the place are like being invited into the best homebrewer’s private taproom. This place is the real deal.

Not the easiest place to find, but worth the effort. No I did not try the food, but the beer is banging. If you are a fan on micro breweries, check this place out, they are doing something right. I believe I had the Hoppy Toad. Highly recommend it.

I’ll admit that the name drew me in, as I’m a fan of all things weird/​surrealistic (not to mention I enjoy sampling craft beer). So I scheduled a couple brewery trips for a Friday afternoon, and put this place at the top of my list.
My GPS (app on my iPhone) brought me into a parking lot near a train station and told me I was at the destination. If you end up there, just keep driving through the lot until you see Moo-​Duck on your front-​left, across the street.
After you walk up a small ramp in front of the building, you enter a drab, concrete room with a smattering of tables throughout and an average-​sized bar (15 seats maybe?) on the left. A sign listing beer and food options also sits just to the left of the bar on the wall. If there were decorations on the walls, I don’t remember them.
My buddy and I took a seat at the bar and each ordered a flight of four for (I think) $ 8. They had nine beers on tap, eight flagships and a small batch called «Orange Toad.»
There wasn’t a single dark beer on the list, and when I asked why that was, the bartender told me they’d just ran out of their only dark (a stout) a day or two earlier. Still… no darks? Not cool.
Their food menu was small, and I decided to wait until we left to find something else to eat. My buddy grabbed the sausage sandwich and said it was good, especially with the spicy ketchup.
The main reason I was there was for the beer, and I found their options to be very hit-​or-​miss.
Their IPAs — particularly the Big Bru and the Summertime IPA — were the best of the bunch. Most of the rest were on the «drinkable, but wouldn’t get again» scale (a 3.5 rating on Untappd, for any Untappd nerds like myself), with the rest falling below that (coming in pretty weak/​watery/​unmemorable).
Service was fine. Nobody was overly-​friendly, but nobody was mean either. You got conversation out of the bartenders, provided you were the one initiating.
Their merchandise is cool, and I love the logo. Had the beer been better, I would have bought a shirt. As it was, I decided to save my money for another place.
This place is probably worth a visit if you enjoy visiting all the local/​central Pennsylvania breweries. But, for me, I’m not sure I’ll go out of my way to visit again.
Please don’t review this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you’re connected in any way to the owner or employees.

I would love to have a great place to eat in Elizabethtown but this certainly is not it & the beer is barely adequate.
The setting is bad and there is no ambience but that could be okay if the food and or beer was good and or inexpensive but they are neither.
We had 3 different beers. All were basically flat with no head. Two were drinkable the other was not.
Menu is short which would be ok if food was good but it is not and it is expensive for what you get. I got meat and cheese which consisted of a styrofoam bowl with about 3 ½ inch squares of a bland cheese, 1 ½ inch square of sweet bologna (which was good) and 4 ½ inch squares of something like mortadella I assume which were edible but not good. Lots of hard pretzels came with it as did a peppery sauce. I went home hungry .
Others got the chili also in the styrofoam bowls with nothing in top and it was okay but too sweet. They also had a hot dog and sausage sandwiches which were simply on a holsom bread roll or similar. Edible but not good.
Each couple’s bill was about $ 20 which seemed like highway robbery. All served in plastic baskets and on plastic trays .
I would feel bad for them but it seems like they aren’t even trying and I feel like I was robbed. Don’t waste your time or $. Sorry. Can someone please open a great restaurant in this nice town !

Not bad for only a month old. right now i think its a little too early for me, but ill will be back in a few months to see whats up.
