When spring fever hits, what's more convivial than a casual night out for pizza and brew? Instead of hitting the local pub, entertain friends at home in an intimate beer garden of your own making. With the range of pizza ovens — from the simple stone on the grill to a custom-designed wood-burning oven — chic beer-dispensing equipment and hip furnishings available in today's outdoor-kitchen market, there are more ways than ever to transform your space into a stylish trattoria. Here's to fresh pies and micro brews — salute!
