A Brief History of Beer Gardens<\/a><\/p>\n

Unlike the ales that constituted all the world\u2019s beer before the middle of the nineteenth century, the lager yeasts discovered in Bavaria at that time required a different type of fermentation. Ales \u2014 produced through the addition of top-fermenting yeast \u2014 ferment rapidly, at warm temperatures. Lagers, contrarily, depend on a slow, cool fermentation, ideally at temperatures between 45\u201356 degrees Fahrenheit. And after fermentation is complete, they need to be stored and aged for several months, at even cooler temperatures.<\/p>\n

This was an era before refrigeration, however, so Bavarian brewers dug out large underground cellars for stashing the barrels while the beer \u201clagered.\u201d To ensure fuller protection from the sun, they then scattered gravel over the ground and planted leafy chestnut and linden trees, which, as they grew, would provide ample shade from the sun.<\/p>\n

Someone did the math. Shade, gravel, beer \u2014 all just off the banks of Munich\u2019s Isar River, which provided an additional source of cooling for the beer. Put some tables and chairs outside, and start the taps. Beer garden culture was born.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
