The traditional “biergarten” is an open-air space where beer and food are served to guests on a patio with open seating. The concept originates from Bavarian breweries that planted gardens above their cellars to keep fermenting lagers cool enough underground. Here are eight crafty beer gardens around Colorado where you can enjoy local beer and food.
