MudHen Brewing Company

"Even if you don’t know the difference between a pilsner and a porter, you’ll still be happy to hang out at Mudhen. Wildwood’s first craft brewery, which opened in 2018, occupies a cavernous former Harley Davidson showroom, an the dining room spills out into a spacious, shaded outdoor patio. Between the space, the welcoming atmosphere, and better-than-it-has-to-be bar food, it’s a great place for beer geeks, families, and even your dog (if you sit on the patio). There’s a parking lot on-site, so it’s also great for people who hate street parking. Order a flight of beers—try the Wee Heavy Wilson, even if you’re not a Scotch ale person—and don’t skip the housemade potato chips. " - regan stephens, candis mclean, sydney mcelwee

"Even if you don’t know the difference between a pilsner and a porter, you’ll still be happy to hang out at Mudhen. Wildwood’s first craft brewery, which opened in 2018, occupies a cavernous former Harley Davidson showroom. The dining room spills out into a spacious, shaded outdoor patio. Between the space, the welcoming atmosphere, and the menu—which has a ton of better-than-it-has-to-be bar food—it’s a place for beer geeks, families (there’s a solid kids’ menu), and even your dog (if you sit on the patio). There’s a parking lot on-site, so it’s also for people who hate street parking. Order a flight of beers (try the Wee Heavy Wilson, even if you’re not a Scotch ale person—it’s super smooth and won gold at the World Beer Cup), and don’t skip the housemade potato chips." - Regan Stephens

"Grab a pint of your favorite beer at MudHen Brewing Company in Wildwood and make the sipping experience even better with one or more food items from the brewery’s pub menu. Pair your lightly hoppy pilsner or rich imperial stout with beef, pulled pork, and brisket meat chili, smoked pork belly starter, or a roast pork sandwich for an unforgettable dining event at the Jersey Shore." - Kristen Kwiatkowski
