Point. But there's not a lot that you can't get from other places up and 
down the West Coast - granted, not typically all in one place. And there is 
some variance amongst locations. I will give them credit for including local 
breweries, though, that you don't often find on tap even in their home 
areas.

And I will say, that as far as mega-multitap places go, the Yard House has 
been the best I've seen in the genre, both in variety and care of beer. I 
still do think that anything above 20-30 is overkill, though. Give me a 
place like the Hop Leaf in Chicago or, local to me, Cafe Boogaloo in Hermosa 
or Father's Office in Santa Monica, over the Yard House any day. The fewer 
beers actually tend to have more variety, and they turn over quicker and are 
thus better cared for.
