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
+Garrettthief I don't know if that's the best example. I live in Hamburg and have been to plenty of drinking establishments where I brought in food from outside. Much more relaxed that the US in general in this matter from what I have experienced.
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 :)
+Andre Maas same
+Andre Maas while beer gardens are a thing all over Germany, this is specific to the (brewery) beer gardens in Bavaria.
+Andre Maas in my armytime i was stationed in bavaria and i learned : if there are
no tabelclothes at the beergarden, you can bring your own food. it´s a typical bavarian tradition
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.
Thanks so much!! :) :) Glad you're enjoying the videos.
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!
:D Thank you!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes I've been to quite a few Bavarian beer gardens. Loved the whole experience.
So it's not a beer garden... but a deer garden... *tusch* :-D
+ColoSon haha :D I am a big fan of corny jokes :)
+ColoSon actually its a beer garden in the deer garden....
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.
Yep. 5:08 I was poking through the comments to see if anybody else noticed.
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
Bardzo dobre piwo tam podają i we wspaniałej atmosferze👍👍👍
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 :)
OMG, I love you so much. You have a big fan here.
Well, just as visiting another country. Says me, a Schleswig-Holsteiner. Bavaria is far abroad for me, we don't have Beergardens up here.
Beer gardens is a lifestyle. With history. Something we Americans will never understand.
The largest bavarian beer garden in the world! :D Made my day! ;)
A little late for comments, i just found your channel and love your germany videos. the hirschgarten is like 200m away from me :)
+sP Thunder Hirschgarten is an awesome place! Hope you enjoyed it often this summer :) And thank you!! Happy to hear you are enjoying the videos :D :D
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 UA-camr!
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.
I have been to this Biergarten with my parents. Wonderful memory.
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.
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!
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.
Nice video. Thanks for sharing and for providing all that background information. You look very pretty in that dirndl. :)
Thank you! Glad to hear you enjoyed it :)
Thanks so much!
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.....
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...
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.
Thank you for this video!!!!
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 *_*
Drinking 1L of beer while wearing a dirndl is so Bavarian looking, lol
Hi Dana! Please let me know if you should ever visit Dinkelsbuehl ... my Hometown ... please let them know that Detlef says Servus ...
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
Fantastic channel :).
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.
Well, I thought a beer garden was where beer was grown. Like flowers. 🌳🌻🌼🌹🌰🍺🍻🍺🌰🌹🌼🌻🌳
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)...
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!
Maybe she didn't know back then.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Beer is only in traditional thinking something to eat!
Not today - that`s crazy!
Nice Swedish Dala Horse plate!
You need to come to Friesland :-)
Does it rain to much in Bavaria?
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.
I love a beer garden! ❤️
Ohbazduh. Love the pronounciation 👍🏻
lol I've since learned the emphasis is supposed to be on the first syllable xD Mr. German Man, who's not from Bavaria, was surprised to learn it as well! lol
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.
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.
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...
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.
Pogi Ako I think Google can give you a more specific answer for the weather, but the last couple of years it's been mild...no longer warm but also not yet too cold. And you'll make it JUST at the very end of Oktoberfest because it goes from end of September to very beginning of October -- this year it ends on Oct. 4 :)
Thank you so much :-)
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.
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.
I want to come and visit Germany.
Yes, of course. Actually I so to speak a neighbour of Bavaria because I'm a real native inhabitan of Baden.
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
Die Betonung liegt bei "Obatzda" auf der ersten Silbe :)
Me as a german I was never in a beer garden, but someday I'll be somewhere :p
***** Da hasse ja schon recht xD bin aber so gut wie nie in Bayern bzw. München^^
Ah, it's the Hirschgarten
Dana, you hold a stein with one hand ONLY!
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...
30chrismuc Yeah, I wish I had those retired parents you speak of :D Sounds like the perfect deal!
"in beer gardens the barriers go down" :D
the hirschgarten in munich has a great skatepark right next to the beer garden. amd holy crap you look hot in that dirndl.
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.👋😀😁
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
sofiesusi So please tell me! What is the proper way to hold it?! Thanks! :)
Wanted Adventure The way you held it at on the thumbnail is right. The part between index finger and thumb does the work and holds the handle and the thumb itself just rests on top. You don't hold the glass like a mug. ^^
+sofiesusi +Wanted Adventure Actually the way she held it on the thumbnail is also incorrrect. The Maßkrug is grabbed by the handle, not touching the glass itself. This way you can't hurt your fingers when "prost"-ing and your hand doesn't warm the beer. "Real bavarias" sometimes only use 3 fingers to hold it.
***** That's because the majority of people give a shit about traditions... which is sad.
+SwatTeamExit Quote Wikipedia: "A tradition is a belief or behavior passed down within a group or society with symbolic meaning or special significance with origins in the past."
Dana, have you ever been to Franconia, the lovely renitent sister of Bavaria? =)
No, I haven't been there yet! Any place in particular that you suggest?
+Wanted Adventure Maybe Würzburg, Nuremberg, Rothenburg ob der Tauber Bamberg, Bayreuth..... there are too many beautiful Places (with great Beer btw) :-).
Bamberg is known as the "Capital of Beer" :)
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.
I really wanna go there and I don't even like beer!!
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.
+Ssatkan Yeah, I've noticed places being called "beer gardens" in other parts of Germany, but they seemed different. Like, I don't think you're always allowed to bring your own food, right?
Yes, most of the time, restaurants just call their outdoor-part beer garden, if it's a little secluded and has a few bushes. So it's not really a beer garden, it's just ordinary restaurant tables that happen to get wet when it rains.
Ach scheis doch auf die, war in Trier in einem sogenanten Biergarten und wollt mein Kartoffelsalat essen musste dann mit der Bedienung rumstreiten das ich das darf (damals dachte ich das man ÜBERALL wo Biergarten drauf steht auch Biergarten drin is, also auch ganz Deutschland)
I was in a beergarden before.....
I live in bavaria
Bavaria is part of Germany, but the bavarians don't think so :-)
+Michael 1959 've seen enough people from other parts of germany that agree with that...
As a bavarian i must say we are more austrian then german. A austrian swizz bavarian state would be the best thing in terms of same minded and same cultural background.
@@sebastianlang8050 just make Großdeutschland. Großdeutsche Solution.
Surprised she doesn't take off with these hands!
you live in bavaria?? i thought you live in germany XD...
+DerSpassVerderber haha. I was going to write the same.
+DerSpassVerderber As a bavarian, I'm everything but offended by that. Maybe that's why here BRD means Bayern und der Rest Deutschlands. ;P
+Your.Friendly.Neighborhood. Spider-Man HAHAHA how have I (as a Franke) never heard this one. that's f*ing brilliant
+DerSpassVerderber Haha this is an every time joke XD
+DerSpassVerderber yes Bavaria is a "freistaat" also definitiv ausland for the rest of germany ;-)
Beer garden life coming...
yummy
Ich gehe gerne ins Cafe! Biergärten sind meistens nur etwas für die Touris!
+Kessina1989 Bei unseren Biergärten sind eigentlich nie Touris, da verirrt sich kein Touri hin xD (Baden)
*****
"Die Expertin" bitte schön!
You are allowed to bring your own food to a Biergarten? I did not know that and I am a native German...
Alisen12 In Munich you can! Maybe in other places around Germany it's different?
+Wanted Adventure yes it depents
+BenBenBen08 I live in the southeast of bavaria and there's no "bring your own food thing" in our beergardens :)
+Wanted Adventure I've been living in Ingolstadt (also in Bavaria) for two years now, and I've never seen anyone bring their own food to a Biergarten. Maybe it is specific to Munich?
+Alisen12 In Bavaria there is the Biergartenverordnung. There is written that you are allowed to bring your own food. If its not called a Biergarten then you have to follow the rules of the Restaurant, for details look at the link. www.unser-bayern.info/index.php/aktuelles/286-das-biergartengesetz
Wir haben Bier Garten en Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Sehr...sehr Gut. Kommen Sie und SEE! Und....Pardon my German!
feeling thirsty
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.
+Crazy Horst Uh, no. They exist in other Bundesländer, too.
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: ua-cam.com/video/eSYMdOcuTE0/v-deo.html
I would have loved to see her eat some of those.
ich gehe einmal pro woche zum chinesischen turm ...
Sie sind sehr schön. (That is actually my first comment written in German on the YT Comments). ;)
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 is just a fancy way of saying "Enclosed area for stupid drunks."
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?
What is the legal drinking age in Germany or does it vary b y state?
Do these biergartens have adequate restroom facilities?
16 years
you can drink beer, wine, etc. already when you're 14, but you have to be accompanied by a legal guardian ... after that there are differences between 16 and 18 (like @LouisMuscr explained)
yes they do :) (quality varies)
yeah but u wont be able to buy the stuff with 14 :)
Beer garden in the sky
...heard all about it
Who else spotted Mr. German-man?
I did! lol
Im an American in Afghanistan watching this is torture to me! lol
try saying "Prost" instead of "Proust" :D
Lived in Bayern for 4 years, but can't even pronounce "Prost" correctly.. That's not good enough, sorry to say.
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
