Beer Garden
A beer garden (German: ''Biergarten'') is an outdoor area in which beer and food are served, typically at shared tables shaded by trees. Beer gardens originated in Bavaria, of which Munich is the capital city, in the 19th century, and remain common in Southern Germany. They are usually attached to a brewery, beer hall, Public house, pub, or restaurant. History Facilities of this kind existed for example in Bamberg since 1605 under the German term :de:Bierkeller, "Bierkeller" ("Beer cellars"). At that time, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Bamberg, Archdiocese of Bamberg was directly subordinated to Rome and not yet to the Duchy of Bavaria.

While it is unknown which brewery was first, it was likely one of Munich's big six: Löwenbräu, Hofbräuhaus, Augustinerbräu, Paulaner, Hacker-Pschorr and Spaten. Sea ...
