WHO does not love a beer garden?

When the sun is out and the sky is blue, a good beer garden can make even the sweetest of drinkest all the sweeter.

Beer gardens originated in Bavaria in Germany in the 19th century and have since spread to ever corner of the beer drinking world.

In Britain a beer garden is an open space which is attached to a pub.

In the countryside they usually provide a surrounding view of the area; in towns and cities a beer garden is an open garden space.

Oswestry and the borders are home to a fine selection of beer gardens and we asked readers for their favourites.
