Craft beer lovers need to stop by Yard House. Yard House is a chain restaurant/sports bar that is known for it’s large selection of beer. This past weekend I visited a newly-opened Yard House located at Moorestown Mall in Moorestown, New Jersey. They are open every day from 11AM to 12:30AM. Fridays and Saturdays they are open until 1AM. In addition to beer, this place also has awesome food and I’m not going to lie, their menu is a little pricey, but it’s worth it. It’s a high-end sports bar, it’s really nice inside and very clean… they even have automatic-opening bathroom doors.
They have over 100 beers on tap! All of the beer comes from their keg room which holds 4,000 gallons of beer. I was so overwhelmed with decisions and excitement while looking at the beer options on the menu. They have so many choices and so many different styles. They have pale ales, IPAs, seasonals, fruit beers, lagers, wheat beers, spiced beers, porters, stouts, even classic light beers like Bud Light and Heineken. Which I thought was pretty cool because not everyone who enjoys beer necessarily likes craft beer. Or it works out if you and a group of friends want to go to go here and some of the people you are with don’t really like craft beer, at least they have beer options that they can choose from and enjoy. It’s nice that they cater to everyone’s tastes instead of making it all and only about craft beer on tap like one might assume would be the case at Yard House.
The first beer that I tried was an IPA, of course. I ordered Green Flash Brewing Company‘s, Soul Style. Green Flash Brewing Company is located in San Diego, California. I tried another Green Flash beer called West Coast which is also an IPA. This beer has a very strong, hoppy taste, but it was good. A third beer I tried was again… an IPA… it was Evil Genius Beer Company’s, Stacy’s Mom. Evil Genius Beer Company is located in West Grove, Pennsylvania. This place has a huge variety of beers from all over the United States and also outside of the country. For instance, they had a stout from an English brewery called Wells & Young’s Brewery located in Bedford, England. The stout is called Young’s Double Chocolate which sounds delicious, I didn’t actually try it because I’m not a huge fan of stouts, but this one sounds intriguing since it’s chocolate. Yard House offers a “house” beer, that is only available for a limited time. It’s called Rogue Spruce Tip IPA. With the help of Rogue’s Brewery located in Newport, Oregon, they created this beer in order to celebrate their 19th anniversary year of business.
Something unique about this place is that they offer “Six Pack Samplers.” A Six Pack Sampler is basically their version of a beer flight, you get six small glasses of six different beers. They have 3 different options of samplers: IPA, Belgian, and Traditional. The Traditional sampler changes every week and the two change annually.
I had a wonderful experience visiting Yard House and it truly is every beer lover’s dream. They have a ton of beer to choose from, excellent food, and TVs for sporting events. It’s a great hangout spot for friends to go out and drink. If you love beer then you need to visit Yard House ASAP.
