The dialog of Chen, Li Li, and Mudmug is different, depending on the order you accept these three quests:

Clear the Way from Chen
Barrels, Man from Li Li
The Fanciest Water from Mudmug

There is a lot of overlap when a character is picked first or third; most of the unique lines are when a character is picked second.
After completing these three quests, this also affects the order of the bosses you fight in the next quest in the chain, Cleaning House

If you pick Chen first, Li Li second, Mudmug third:

just kill hozen. when attacked, they will cast barrel toss at you from ranged, and then they will move into melee.

Ook-Ook is basically harmless, so don't bother being afraid him or letting him slow your quests down because you're trying not to get close. he won't attack. if you attack him or if he comes near you, he will just turn you into a beer keg and continue on his merry way, and you just click the button to free yourself. also, if you you look up, Hoptallus can be seen hopping around the outer parts of the brewery.

Description

Are you seeing this? Virmen, hozen, and water sprites... all pouring out of the brewery doors and windows! What the heck is going on in there!? There is another entrance, on the eastern side of the brewery. I'm going to run over there and try to figure out what's going on. In the meantime, see if you can't get rid of these creatures. There's nothing worse than a drunken hozen.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Knocking on the DoorValley of the Four Winds · Level 15-35

    Now, onward to the Stormstout Brewery! It's high time that I was reunited with the rest of the Stormstouts... and what better way to reunite than over a few mugs of ale? You know where the brewery is, right? Just follow this road to the west. You can't miss it.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Barrels, ManValley of the Four Winds · Level 15-35

    I can't believe that giant hozen! He's just throwing barrels everywhere! Barrels, man! It looks like he managed to get pretty much all the pandaren that were working out in front of the brewery. If I were you, I'd help some of them break out. Put some of those ridiculous muscles to use.
