    Go Big Or Go Home: Round the World Edition We quit our jobs to go exploring before we are too old to hike up mountains and mountain bike down volcanoes. We may be a little crazy but we like it that way!

    Germany

    Back to Munich for a city walking tour and one of the many outdoor beer gardens. In the 19th century prior to the advent of refrigeration, German brewers would dig cellars for lagering (Lager is German for storeroom or warehouse) to keep the beer cool during the summer months. To further protect the beer from the summer heat Chestnut Trees were planted above the cellars which have spreading dense canopies but shallow roots that would not intrude on the cellars. The practice of serving beer at these sites evolved into the modern beer garden.
