for the non-germans: Baveria is a part of germany and lots of details differ when it comes to all the other parts of germany. E.G. only in Baveria you can bring your own food

I feel a bit ashamed. I'm from the neighbouring Switzerland and you just explained Bavarian Biergardens to me - had no idea. Gotta hand it to the Bavarians on this one, that really does look awesome - why would anyone go to the Oktoberfest when you can have such a relaxed atmosphere and even bring your own food? That's my idea of a perfect afternoon.

I'm german and I did not know that you can bring your own food into a beer garden. You learn something everyday :)

The nicest Biergarten I happened on was in Poing, at the Grub Haltstelle on the S2. I was at the Musterhaus Park, and stopped at the Biergarten on the way back to the S-Bahn. Not a tourist in sight....except for my wife and myself.

I just know that on a hot summer day sitting in the shade of a tree and drinking a beer is the most awesome way to have a drink there is. Nothing else even compares. Although having a hot Glühwein or a hot chocolate with Amaretto at the Christmas market on a cold day comes close.

typical german sight. I love that channel. I love to hear about your side and your opinion and thought on germany and germans in general. its all natural to me and i love the fact that you are so happy about the small "normal" stuff. Keep up the good vids.

I was in Munich this past May and the Biergartens were amazing. I long to go back! They were so much fun, and such a different experience from anything in America. München ist immer toll.

You look a bit like Schneewittchen (snow white) in thiss outfit. very cute :) I also learned something new about Biergärten because I've never been to one. I live above the Weißwurstgürtel in Germany, and here, we don't really have them.

You look mighty cool in that beer maid's outfit, Dana! And that Munich beer garden is great fun. Good video!

That sounds rather nice, even for someone from northern Germany, well the middle of it. From a Frankfurt perspective Bavaria looks like a rather exotic place but certainly worth a visit, especially during summer times. Nice vid.

Bardzo dobre piwo tam podają i we wspaniałej atmosferze👍👍👍

my experience was so nice! I went with my parents and sat next to these friendly German people. they were a plesure to talk too and made me feel very welcomed as a canadian tourist

Yes I've been to quite a few Bavarian beer gardens. Loved the whole experience.

Beer gardens is a lifestyle. With history. Something we Americans will never understand.

I have been to this Biergarten with my parents. Wonderful memory.

So it's not a beer garden... but a deer garden... *tusch* :-D

There is nearly nothing better than sitting in the beer garden, a cold Weizen in the left hand, my pipe in the right hand and a nice portion of Obatzter in front of me :)

What a tease! Mr. German Man was in this video from two years ago. Now that we know what he looks like, I wonder how many more times he will be observed unbagged in old videos.

Greetings from Rheinland. Our favorite is Die Sayner-Scheune, across from Koblenz and near the Butterly Garden. It has expanded to include not just the original Biergarten, but also a Restaurant and Cocktail bar. Across trom the Prinzen-Palast Sayn-Wittgenstein too. Local favorite, come a bit early, or face waiting a while for the 'old-fashioned home cooked food'. Great way to spend an afternoon in Gemuetlichkeit. Best schnitzel in the entire region!

Well, just as visiting another country. Says me, a Schleswig-Holsteiner. Bavaria is far abroad for me, we don't have Beergardens up here.

The largest bavarian beer garden in the world! :D Made my day! ;)

Well, I thought a beer garden was where beer was grown. Like flowers. 🌳🌻🌼🌹🌰🍺🍻🍺🌰🌹🌼🌻🌳

Oh ich liebe den Hirschgarten. Wohne nur 5 Min weit davon entfernt und bin ganz oft dort zum Essen. Der Schweinebraten da ist einfach sooooo lecker *_*

OMG, I love you so much. You have a big fan here.

Munich biergarten culture is the best! I occasionally take people on bicycle tours through the city just to visit 4 or 5 of them. Up & down the Isar there are so many fun gardens that offer different types of music, different brands of bier, and simply wonderful environs. I don't recommend drinking maßes though, not if you're on a bike.....

1:36 - as beautiful as this place looks, that place is in Northrhine Westphalia, not Bavaria: Pfannkuchenhaus Coenenmühle in Wermelskirchen, northeast of Leverkusen. Awesome place, nice roads to cruise on (I love the Bergisches Land), known for their Pfannkuchen, not really known for beer, though. You should still go check it out when you're in that area.

after doing research and finding out the truth about the history of beer, visiting a beer garden is now on my bucket list. This would seem like a very nice vacation to take.

Thanks so much!

Thank you for this video!!!!

I honestly think that i wouldn't have made it either. I still think that you were really brave to just keep trying. It won't always be a success but thats what makes it an experience! I really enjoy watching your videos and you inspire me. The second i watched one of your videos i because obsessed! I honestly think you are my favorite KZfaqr!

A little late for comments, i just found your channel and love your germany videos. the hirschgarten is like 200m away from me :)

Drinking 1L of beer while wearing a dirndl is so Bavarian looking, lol

Nice video. Thanks for sharing and for providing all that background information. You look very pretty in that dirndl. :)

Does it rain to much in Bavaria?

in beergardens in saxony, that´s where i crow up, do not have the right to bring your own food, but that was what i loved about them. because the traditional german abendbrot only consisting of bread with slices of meat, sossageand cheese, i always was looking forward to the next beergarden visitation, because there i got things like grillhaxe or halbes hähnchen.

OOOhh damn! Thanks Dana! That's just what I've been looking for. I'm in München next week, and I'll definitely go there. It's gonna be a bit cool, but hopefully it won't stop us from enjoying fresh Weissbier. But I only know around 20 words in German, so I'm not sure about starting conversations and making friends part, unless they speak one of the 3 other languages that I speak, which is unlikely. And I'm afraid for being judged, for being in Germany and not speaking German.

You know that we have a practical attachment to god, but a mystical attachment to beer. A Biergarten was what I most missed inSweden. There was a nice waterfront, but not a single place were you could unpack your laptop and work, eating and drinking for a few hours without stress or overcrowding.

Hello gain, Just one thing, actually two: Obatzda has a loooong oooo, so it's ooobatzda; secondly, obatzda comes from (Bavarian German) "Angebatzter". Batz is mud. The connection is kind of: when you put water in the mud and squeeze it with your hands, you create a "Batz". In conclusion, Obatzda is mushed cheese and butter with Paprica and chives. An Guatn Appetit.

What I find in general is that the food presentation is just so much better than in the US. Even simple fare looks better and "fast food" is not like here... (Munich area anyway)...

as far as i know yes its only common in bavaria to bring your own food, but tose kind of beer gardens you have in munich are kind of special that kind of air (in german i mean flair) you may just find in an areal radius of maybe 150km around the town of munich...

Your pronunciation of Obadzda (O-*baz*-da, just like all those English multi-syllable words that are stressed on their second syllable...) really cracked me up.

Thanks for explaining these areas. To me it seems that beer gardens are established picnic areas where you can buy freshly made excellent beer and some food like pretzels and brats. We should do some in the US. We have brew pubs but they aren't the same thing.

Beer is only in traditional thinking something to eat! Not today - that`s crazy!

In Prague there's a nice beer garden on the promontory in the Letna park. It's quite large and I think the trees are linden (the Czech national tree), or maybe there's chestnut trees, one way or another there's great shade there. There's also a gazeebo and I think a restaurant in one of the building.s The garden is basically self-serve, though, you get your beer at a stand.

Nice Swedish Dala Horse plate!

Fantastic channel :).

i lived in the vincinity (Wendel Dieterich Straße) of the Hirschgarten it was kinda irritating because we'd have dunks comming down our street on their way to Rotkreutz Platz bellowing away in the eveing every day in summer

While in the U.S. Military, I lived in Meßstetten for 1 year and Karlsruhe for 3 years, 2 years in Bremen, for my company.. My Favorite is the Bayern area. Life is so different in southern Germany, MUCH more relaxed and friendly. I do miss the Bier Gärten….Trinken aus einem Literglas, auf einem Holztisch mit Freunden, Gespräche, Brezel, Essen und Leben, ich werde immer schätzen. Ich bin eifersüchtig du bist noch da Genießen ... Trinken aus einem Literglas, auf einem Holztisch mit Freunden, Gespräche, Brezel, Essen und Leben, ich werde immer schätzen. Ich bin eifersüchtig du bist noch da Genießen ... Trinken aus einem Literglas, auf einem Holztisch mit Freunden, Gespräche, Brezel, Essen und Leben, ich werde immer schätzen. Ich bin eifersüchtig du bist noch da Genießen ...einmal mass bitte

Great introduction to german beer garden culture! You should definitely come to Franconia, particularly to Bamberg (which I consider the most beautiful town in Germany - ah let's say the whole world!). Here the beergarden's are called "Keller" (= cellar), which refers to the cool stone cellars in the hills where they store the beer. That is why in Bamberg you are not going down but "on" the cellar ("auf den Keller"). And trust me: The beer is way better than in any other place. Well that is because in Upper Franconia we have the highest concentration of breweries measured by population. Even a small town as Bamberg (which has aprox. 70.000 inhabitants) has nine private owned breweries! And the beer culture is only one reason to visit this historical, UNESCO World Heritage town...

Hi Dana! Please let me know if you should ever visit Dinkelsbuehl ... my Hometown ... please let them know that Detlef says Servus ...

Bavaria province has many wonderful "Beer Gardens". I have been to Beer Festivals in Erlangen and Forcheim. I had wonderful time in both the places.

Yes, of course. Actually I so to speak a neighbour of Bavaria because I'm a real native inhabitan of Baden.

I am planning to visit Munich this coming 2nd of october. What is the weather there in october? When exactly is october fest? Thank you.

Woo hoo! Beer, beer, beer, bed, bed, bed! (just to quote Homer) btw, do you remember on which date you did the pan shot at 2:37? I think I spotted myself.

This is actually interesting to a lot of us non-Bavarian Germans, too. The beer garden hype did hit us, but it's not the same thing.

i hope you'll see this adn consider the guide to the best beer gardens in Munich: The Beer Drinker's Guide to Munich, now in its 7th edition. Available at Amazon. It pays for itself in free beer.

in a more recent video you said that the large glass has to be held with only one hand but you picked yours up with two!

There is one other smell you could have at a beer garden in Allgäu, a part of Bavaria that is a bit more old fashioned and not as fancy as Munich: The smell of urine. Old men have their waking sticks and because they can either walk nor hold their urine quite well, they find it quite normal to do their business under the table while sitting and to avoid sprinkling on their neighbours feet or on their own, they let it run down gently on their walking sticks. I was a chef in Baden- Würrtemberg, so not so far away from Bavaria and had a few waitresses from Bavaria who assured me that this is still quite common in more rural areas of bavaria.

Ich war noch nie auf einer Biergarten in Bayern weil ich nach Baden-Württemberg gezogen bin. Aber ich ziehe bald nach Bayern. Da werde ich es mir erleben. Im Sommer dieses Jahr. Ich freue mich schon! Liebe Grüße von einem anderen Ami aus Baden-Württemberg.👋😀😁

You need to come to Friesland :-)

I love a beer garden! ❤️

Liebe Dana: In Deutschland kann ich mir einen Biergarten ohne Kastanienbäume eigentlich nicht vorstellen. Aber natürlich, das Bier (hell und sehr bitter, auch Lager genannt) ist das wichtigste. Und wenn Du etwas Hunger hast, dann ist auch eine gute große Prezel sehr schmecksam.

Ah, it's the Hirschgarten

it really seems like you need your retired parents for making those beergarden specialties like obatzda or wammerl..so its like this: l i pay for the beer and my parents take care of the homemade food..which is certainly enough for a complete football team...just in case someone wants to try...as my mum says.. and ..of course you can make friends in a beergareden or at least have a nice evening with people sitting at your table..just be open enough to talk to others..most people here in bavaria will understand at least some words of english..and after a couple of beers ..conversation is getting better and better...

Me as a german I was never in a beer garden, but someday I'll be somewhere :p

Dana, you hold a stein with one hand ONLY!

Ohbazduh. Love the pronounciation 👍🏻

Iv'e visited so many places on this planet, but never experienced these beer gardens so "close" to home (i'm Norwegian). They seem like myth... a joyful place where people gather to drink large beers, without it being a haven for hooligan tourists. I need to visit this place... as soon as the fucking pandemic ends, hopefully.

Yeah every year i get forced by my friends to come with them to the beer garden...honestly I'm not such a big fan of eating outside where insects can attack me.

Die Betonung liegt bei "Obatzda" auf der ersten Silbe :)

I have to be the one but you're holding your glass the wrong way :D It's the native Bavarian speaking out of me I'm sorry. XD

I want to come and visit Germany.

"in beer gardens the barriers go down" :D

Dana, have you ever been to Franconia, the lovely renitent sister of Bavaria? =)

the hirschgarten in munich has a great skatepark right next to the beer garden. amd holy crap you look hot in that dirndl.

you live in bavaria?? i thought you live in germany XD...

Surprised she doesn't take off with these hands!

I really wanna go there and I don't even like beer!!

Beer garden life coming...

You are allowed to bring your own food to a Biergarten? I did not know that and I am a native German...

I was in a beergarden before..... I live in bavaria

Wir haben Bier Garten en Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Sehr...sehr Gut. Kommen Sie und SEE! Und....Pardon my German!

Ich gehe gerne ins Cafe! Biergärten sind meistens nur etwas für die Touris!

Slowly I get used to Wanted Adventure. She seems to appreciate Germany. Recently I guess I found a sense of humour when she fumbled with WHITE ASPARAGUS. Watch this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m7mJgMeAyNu4dWQ.html I would have loved to see her eat some of those.

I don't get the bear garden things as well. I guess maybe because German are lonely eventually. They need to use this kind of thing to social otherwise they'll get sick.

Bavaria is part of Germany, but the bavarians don't think so :-)

What is the legal drinking age in Germany or does it vary b y state? Do these biergartens have adequate restroom facilities?

Who else spotted Mr. German-man?

yummy

Im an American in Afghanistan watching this is torture to me! lol

Sie sind sehr schön. (That is actually my first comment written in German on the YT Comments). ;)

feeling thirsty

i live 21 years in bavaria and my experiens are: you must pay evry year more for a Maß Beer this is stupid XD but i love bavari thi is my country ^^

Beer garden in the sky

😊🍺🍺🍺🙄👋

ich gehe einmal pro woche zum chinesischen turm ...

So help out a poor American who's going to Munich for the first time. Where/when do you pay at a beer garden....and can I get by with limited German language skills?

im German and im not drinking Beer, but i like beergardens i love Brotzeit and schmanckerl. But it is a little difficult when you are outside of german EVRYONE want to give you a Beer because you German XD

try saying "Prost" instead of "Proust" :D

Beer Garden is just a fancy way of saying "Enclosed area for stupid drunks."
