200 years beer garden tradition in germany!!!!!!!!!
outgoing from bavaria, a beer garden is a special kind of summer restaurant, long wooden tables and benches under chestnut trees... during the last century even influenced alle over germany, very beloved nowadays!!!
beer in all variations and sizes from 0,2 l to 1 or 2 l with a lusty food like spare ribs, even with a heater for perhaps a cold summer eve.. even with TV, when it's an *important* football match ahead.. however ppl like it very much and they have always lots of guests and a good atmospher!!!!!!!

oh yessss, and by a decree of *King Maximilian I, Joseph von Bayern*, dated January 4, 1812, ppl are allowed to bring their own food with them - even somewhere ppl are doing this still nowadays!!!! :-)))))))))))))))

here you can see some typical pics and more:
