It was love at first sight when Matt Rofougaran walked into a Biergarten in Munich, Germany. The then 23-year-old had just sold off everything he owned and went backpacking around the world for inspiration. Roughly 16 years later, Rofougaran is bringing a traditional German beer garden to the Town of Herndon at 771 Center Street.
Tysons Biergarten could be coming back as a part of ShipGarten, a pop-up dining experience. Image used with permission.
Tysons is under construction, but much of it will take a long time to build. In the meantime, the Tysons Comprehensive Plan calls for “interim conditions that will enhance the urban character of Tysons,” such as pop-up parks and green space. The people behind ShipGarten are kicking those interim conditions up a notch, adding shipping containers and beer.
The pop-up bar and restaurant space, a successor to the popular Tysons Biergarten that closed in 2019, will feature four 40-foot shipping containers, each converted into its own food and drink concept, alongside large tents, seating, and an entertainment venue.
