Der Biergarten
Atlanta gets it’s own beer garden Wednesday! Der Biergarten opens its doors at 300 Lucky Street downtown Atlanta featuring a German flair that was lacking in the downtown scene. Expect authentic German beer and food.
Beer gardens originated in Bavaria somewhere during the 19th century. During this time, dark lagers were in fashion. King Ludwig I of Bavaria issued a degree that these dark lager beers had to be brewed in the cold months. (Lagering requires colder temperatures than top fermenting ales do.) As the weather turned warmer, these lagers still required colder temperature to maintain freshness and flavor.
