Sprechen ze Deutsche? Well, you no longer have to. The o.g. biergarten may have originated centuries ago in Germany, but today's beer gardens have gone multi-culti with international brews that span Asia to North America. Get ready to brush up on your cross-continental drinking skills.

Sake, skewers and Japanese whiskey. Oh, and don't forget the beer. Summer is here and Chaya Downtown is once again celebrating with their Japanese Beer Garden on the spacious lantern-bedecked outdoor patio. Every weeknight through the end of summer, the French-Japanese hot spot will be home to $2 kushiyaki skewers grilled on an authentic yakitori grill and lots o' drinks with sake flights, $15 pitchers of Kirin and hard-to-find brews. Arigato!
