| - Made the trip into Scottdale to visit Yardhouse Craft Beer Bar & Restaurant to see what 125 Tap Beer Handles looked like. A mix of true craft, semi craft, pretend craft, imports & domestics. I'll say this, there is certainly somthing for everyone. I would like to have seen more true craft but with a selection that large there was quite a bit of beer to choose from.
I've heard more than a few complaints that all that Brew tends to sit in the beer lines far to long before being poured/tapped & goes Flat. Having said so, we visited on a Sunday morning hoping the busy weekend would see all those beers poured through. We tried quite a few different brews & only found only one truly out of sorts.
The Belgian Sampler/ Flight was nice & the food was really quite nice. The Sushi was oddly prepared, much like a small cake, but more than acceptable. As their name might suggest, the Yard House had 1/2 yards of beer although I didnt see anyone drinking them. Can you drink a Belgian strong ale from one of those?
All In All, not a bad trip. 3 Stars, could be better with more true craft beer.
PS. It was truly difficult not letting any Scottsdale Stereotypes invade this review. Sure there were cougars galore & 30k millionaires eveywhere the eye could see. And yes, I'm pretty sure I saw Mike Tyson!
