We headed out to one of our favorite Biergartens today to attend their annual Medieval festival. (yes another festival....refer to previous post about festivals in Germany)
Where can you get great German food (Spätzle, Currywurst, Pommes Frites, Wilde Kartoffeln mit Knoblausoße, grilled Schweinhals, Weißwürste, and great flamkuchen), let the kids run wild on a big playground and build sandcastles, sit under big canvas umbrellas when it rains, meet up with friends no matter what region of Baden-

Wurtenburg they live thanks to great train location, drink a hearty German beer and easily jump on a quick train home? Why the Schwabengarten of course Schwabengarten website
As you can see from all the pictures from different visits, I am learning that a Biergarten is so much more than the name suggests. The name can be deceiving and lead one into thinking that it is a place you go to sit and just drink beer. It is so much more than that and is a big part of the German culture. You quickly find out that Biergartens come in all shapes, and sizes. You can find them similiar to how one can find a McDonalds in America....they are located everywhere. Because not all houses here in Germany have their own grassy yard to BBQ with your friends and let the kids play, a Biergarten serves as the meeting spot. (and someone else cooks for you) They are meeting points where you can catch up with your friends, watch a soccer game, listen to a live band, all while the kids are getting covered in sweat and dirt. And yes, if you like Beer...they usually have a large variety of that as well.....
