Celebrating 200 years of Beer Gardens in Munich and Upper Bavaria
The first Bavarian beer gardens date back to 1812, a time without electric cooling systems. Brewers used to plant linden and chestnut trees above the cellars where the beer was stored and cover the ground with a thick layer of gravel, the storage rooms then remained cool and the beer therefore stayed fresh. Local residents enjoyed the shade of the trees together with the cold beer, drinking it on the spot, even though the beer was supposed to have been taken home.
It was King Ludwig I who granted the brewers formal permission to sell their beer for consumption outdoors by the brewery. The concept of an outdoor beer garden begun, where you could both eat and drink outdoors. In 2012, breweries and beer gardens throughout Munich and Upper Bavaria are celebrating this anniversary with festivities and events. Please contact us for more information.
