DES MOINES BIERGARTEN
Willkommen im Des Moines Biergarten! Set among the mature trees of Water Works Park, Des Moines Biergarten is a family-friendly popup German-themed beer garden offering steins of beer and German inspired eats. Join us every Thursday through Sunday in September and October.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Get a flavor of Bavaria in Des Moines! Since the 19th century, beer gardens have been a staple of Munich. Traditionally, steins of beer have been enjoyed on picnic tables shaded by trees. We wanted to bring that German experience to Des Moines and have partnered with Water Works Park for a pop-up experience this fall. We'll offer local and German brews, German-inspired eats like hotdogs and pretzels, live music and yard games.
WHERE TO FIND US
Every Thursday to Sunday in September and October, you can find us east of the Lauridsen Amphitheater under the tree canopy in Water Works Park. We're just off the bike trail and there's plenty of parking to the south. Restrooms and a natural playscape for kids are also nearby.
Opening times:
Thursday: 2-9pm
Friday: 2-9pm
Saturday: 12-9pm
Sunday: 12-9pm
