Beer gardens

The tradition has spread all over Germany, but only Munich gives you the genuine article: the original "Biergarten". In  times past, when brewers were desperate to keep their beer cool during the summer, they stored their barrels in cellars and planted chestnut trees above them, so that their wide branches and large leaves kept the place cool and shady. King Ludwig I granted the brewers the right to sell their beer on the spot - but not food. Since then, the people of Munich have flocked to these gardens to drink fresh beer straight from the barrel, bringing along their own food. Among the best-known and most aesthetically pleasing of Munich's beer halls is the Hofbräuhaus, famous as much for its beer as for its very typical Bavarian atmosphere.
