Event details
Come join Barony An Dubhaigheainn as our patron saint, St Andrew, visits Bavaria for a fall volksfest in the biergarten. Biergartens came about due to seasonal limitations on when beer could be brewed, which were in the Bavarian brewing regulations by 1539. The cool seasons were chosen to minimize the risk of fire when boiling mashed grain into wort. Numerous conflagrations had occurred, which resulted in the prohibition of brewing during the summer months. In response, large breweries dug cellars in the banks of the River Isar to keep their beer cool during storage. “Beer cellars” for consuming beer on premises naturally followed. This expanded outside the cellars where benches and tables were set up for people to enjoy themselves in the shade of trees in what would become biergartens.
