Talk:Beer garden

Introduction
To me it sounds as if the introduction ("A beer garden is an open-air area where alcohol is legally served...") implies that serving alcohol in public is otherwise illegal, which is not true. If however this part means that a permit for serving beer is required then it would be redundant or at least too specific. I am not sure if it is just me or if some rewording may be required here. Any thoughts?

Furthermore, I would like to suggest that the introduction explains the origin of the name, namely that it is derieved from "Biergarten". I think that this piece of information is important enough to be incorporated into the introduction.

I would like to add that the article is very German oriented. While the history of the Bavarian biergartens is interesting, I think it might be a stretch to claim that the Germans invented drinking beer outside in the garden. Perhaps a reference to a source text discussing the earliest known beer gardens would be a useful. WellReadBadger (talk) 05:45, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

Grammar
This article is in dire need of a grammar check ! Could someone please take a look at it ? I have tried to fix quite a lot, but I fear that I couldn't fix everything, especially since several elements of the brewing process are unclear to me. Alrik Fassbauer (talk) 14:52, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Error: In the history part in the last sentence the word "Brezen" is mentioned, meaning a pretzel. If you click on the link, it leads to Breze, a town in Eastern Europe instead of pretzel. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.175.225.128 (talk) 01:18, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

History section
Regarding the sentence: The kettle was heated to the extreme during the brewing process, which resulted in the 16th Century to an accumulation of fires in breweries.

I find the phrase, "an accumulation of fires," to be somewhat awkward, and offer up these alternatives:
 * The kettle was heated to the extreme during the brewing process, which resulted in there being numerous fires in breweries during the 16th Century.
 * The brewing process involved heating the kettle to the extreme, which was the proximate cause of many fires in 16th Century breweries.
 * The brewing process involved heating the kettle to the extreme, which resulted in there being too many fires in 16th Century breweries.

My elderly grandfather used to say he was "going to the beer garden" rather, very likely, "going to the biergarten" in the 1960's when I was a kid. Grandparents did not allow German to be spoken in the house when my parents grew up, because of Germany's wrong-way involvement in two world wars, therefore I do not know much of the native language of my ancestors.

Biergarten vs beer garden
Why is the spelling beer garden and not Biergarten? I reckon, Biergarten would be the right spelling for English Wikipedia.
