More space for beer gardeners

Tegernsee's Schlossplatz is becoming car-free, and the beer garden is expanding. Peter Hubert, Duchess Anna in Bavaria, and brewery manager Christian Wagner are delighted.

To enjoy fresh beer in the summer, Munich residents once dug deep beer cellars, packed them with ice, and planted shady chestnut trees. It's nice that the Tegernseer Bräustüberl has taken this idea further: Since 2009, guests have been able to enjoy their outdoor seating even more relaxed after the parking lot was relocated. This not only created more space but also eliminated the danger posed by passing cars. Multifunctional umbrellas provide shade in the summer and warmth on cooler evenings. And the excellent Tegernseer beer, then as now, comes fresh from the cool cellars of the neighboring Herzogliches Brauhaus.
