Beer Gardens in Lake County
By: Jonathan Jones 08/12/2014
With the mild temperatures we've had this summer, joining friends and family for a round of beers in the refreshing outdoor air is a great way to end any day.
According to Wikipedia, a beer garden (derived from German Biergarten) is an "outdoor area in which beer, other drinks, and local food are served."
With that in mind, below are just a few Lake County hot spots for enjoying a delicious beer outdoors.
