Celebrate the approach of the weekend every Thursday with Cask Night at Karl Strauss Brewery and Restaurant in Costa Mesa.Beginning at 5 pm, the San Diego-based microbrewery’s Orange County outpost taps the specialty cask of the night and pours for $4 a pint until it runs dry. Cask-conditioned beer differs from other ales because it undergoes a second fermentation by maturing in small 11-gallon casks, creating a smoother beer with fuller flavor. This Thursday enjoy Karl Strauss’s dry-hopped, award-winning Red Trolley Ale before catching a movie at the nearby cinema or starting your holiday shopping at South Coast Plaza across the street. 901a South Coast Drive, Costa Mesa, 714.546.2739. karlstrauss.com
