FEATURED FARE Half-Yard Beer

Where it’s at: The Yard House, 1875 Newport Blvd., Costa Mesa, (949) 574-1292

What’s in it: A cold 32-ounces of your choice from 180 draft beers. The restaurant features 3.5 miles of beer lines used in the keg room that has 200 chilled kegs holding more than 150 gallons of beer.

Cost: Between $9, $11.50 and $12.50

Why you should order it: If you are a beer connoisseur, this is the place. Bartender Patrick Bolanos estimates he pours 60 to 70 half-yards each weekend night and suggests the Humboldt Hemp Ale or Piraat, a Belgian beer with an alcohol content of 10.5 percent.
