🍻 Oktoberfest Offers Poured In-House at Yard House
“Historically, a yard of beer was made for people traveling long distances on a horse,” explains Paul Sheehan, Associate General Manager of Yard House off International Drive, “Today, we offer a huge selection of beers on tap for those who need a spot to relax.”
This sports bar holds a more elevated ambiance than your average dive spot, though still includes classic American bar elements, such as rock music and huge television screens. The refined vibes are portrayed through abstract art and mood lighting. A center bar serves as the focal point of the restaurant, with piping installations that stem from a vast keg room. This particular Yard House location boasts 140 beers on tap, alongside a full cocktail bar and wine menu.
To add excitement to your Oktoberfest season, the restaurant is featuring a take-home, liter stein glass available for half-yard beer purchases. The massive glass captures the jubilant mood of Oktoberfest for those looking to indulge in their extensive beer selections. In tandem with their drinks are festive dishes that utilize German themes. Check out the beers and bites!
🍺 Festive Beer
It’s not a true Oktoberfest without German beer selections! The Ayinger Oktoberfest is slightly sweet with floral hops, while the Paulaner Oktoberfest Wiesn is more full-bodied with a balanced fragrance of hops. Sam Adam’s Octoberfest has caramel notes from its rich malts, alongside Sierra Nevada’s Oktoberfest, which features similar, smooth flavors. The Weihenstephaner Festbieris also rich-bodied with a balanced finish.
🍔 Oktoberfest Burger
This stacked burger features 2 layers of beef, topped with bacon tomato jam, which held a tangy taste. The arugula, tomato, and grilled onion provides additional texture and moisture, complimented by the slightly nutty flavor of the Swiss cheese. A pretzel roll bun holds the burger together, offering a salty taste and a heartier chew.
🍖 Pork Chops
This Bavarian-inspired dish features a double pork chop atop baby broccoli, which adds a crisp texture to the Parmesan mashed potatoes. The wild mushroom sauce has a rich, earthy taste, complimented by the texture of mushroom bits swimming in the smooth cream.
🍨 Dessert
The Mini Trip Sampler embarks you on a decadent journey that includes cheesecake brûlée, peach apple cobbler, and chocolate soufflé cake. Both the cobbler and soufflé cake are topped with ice cream to deliver that hot-cold sensation with every bite. The s’mores brownie is extremely rich, topped with slightly melted marshmallows that provide a gooey, sweet texture.
