For well over a century,
beer gardens have been
important social centers in
Germany. Conversation, food,
and, of course, beer are the
staples of these outdoor, warmweather gatherings that are

crowds, and those crisp, thirst-quenching beers.

is thoughtful and well prepared; try the snappy
grilled sausages or a lighter brunch omelet with
zucchini and goat cheese. The German-focused
tap list comes served in pints, liters, or pitchers,
and beer enthusiasts will go nuts over the more
unusual bottle selection like a

German beer is almost beside the point. Park your
beach cruiser at the boardwalk bike rack and find
a table in the side beer garden. Oversize German
pretzels lay down the perfect foundation for the
pilsners, dunkels, and weizenbiers from centuryold breweries like Erdinger and Bitburger. Just be
