Once you accept Knocking on the Door, a scene will occur.

Chen Stormstout says: Let's load these barrels up into the chart, shall we?

He hops off a pile of barrels and then starts throwing all of them into a cart with amazing speed and accuracy, stacking up perfectly. Li Li then hops on the pile while Chen hops into front of the cart, ready to pull it.

Chen Stormstout says: Onward to Stormstout Brewery!
Li Li yells: So long, Halfhill!
Chen Stormstout says: Mudmug, are you coming?

Mudmug blushes.

Mudmug says: Oh, I dunno. This kinda seems like a family thing you're doin'...

Chen Stormstout then hops in front of Mudmug.

Chen Stormstout says: It IS a family thing, Mudmug. And I want you to join us.
Mudmug says: No foolin'?
Chen Stormstout says: Of course not! We brewed beer together. That practically makes us brothers.

Mudmug then runs up to Chen Stormstout.

Mudmug says: Y-yeah! Beer brothers!

Chen Stormstout laughs.

Li Li says: Ugh! You guys are gonna make me throw up.
Li Li says: Seriously, though, Mudmug. Don't be dumb.
Chen Stormstout says: Come on, help me pull this cart.

Chen Stormstout and Mudmug then hops in front of the cart, ready to pull it. They then begin to walk towards Stormstout Brewery.

Li Li yells: Is this the fastest you can go? Come on fatsos! Move those legs!
Chen Stormstout says: Very well, I will put my belly into it...

They then suddenly blast off towards Stormstout Brewery - so fast you will never be able to keep up with them on a ground mount, and you'd probably need 280% or even 310% flying to keep up with them.

I do not know if they say anything if you're actually around by the time you arrive at Stormstout Brewery at the same time with them, though.

Additional dialogue once the quest is handed in:

Li Li says: Huh! Looks like they're closed.
Chen Stormstout says: Yes, strange. This door was not here before.
Mudmug says: Y'all think they're hidin' something inside?
Chen Stormstout says: We will find out. Chen Stormstout yells: Stormstouts, open up! I have returned. And I brought beer!
Li Li says: Umm... guys...
Chen Stormstout says: Settle down, Li Li. You know that I hate to be interrupted while I'm knocking on doors.


After the dialogue Ook-Ook will arrive and throw barrels on everyone present.

If you run far enough away you can avoid the barrel-on-head cutscene with no issues and pick up the continuing three quests.

You then get more dialogue:

Li Li says: I'm going ahead to see if there's anything I can do to help.
Li Li yells: See you there, Uncle Chen!
Mudmug says: The brewery's got a second entrance, over yonder.
Mudmug says: I suppose I'll be off then. You a-comin', Chen?
Chen Stormstout says: See you on the other side, [@player-name].
Chen Stormstout yells: Li Li, Mudmug, wait up!

Description

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. Of course, you're free to share the road with us - we'll be leaving any moment now.

    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.
