Beer Garden Culture centers on the beer garden, known in German as the Biergarten, an outdoor area where beer and food are served, typically at shared tables set in the shade of trees. The tradition originated in Bavaria, whose capital is Munich, in the 19th century, and remains common across Southern Germany, where beer gardens are usually attached to a brewery, beer hall, pub, or restaurant.
