The history of Forsthaus Kasten dates back to the beginning of the 13th century. In those days the Heilig Geist Spital (Holy Spirit Hospital) was founded to take care of people in need. In 1308 the property Gut zu Kasten was sold to the hospital. Due to additional acquisitions and donations, the property increased until 1750 to its present size of 800ha. In 1899 the restaurant Forst Kasten opened, from where the forest ranger of this time sold small meals to passers by.
The beer garden has about 2,000 seats in the self-serviced area, which is divided into several sections. Guests can unwrap their own food on beer garden tables in the main area with large trees and gravel ground or under sun umbrellas on a meadow next to cherry trees. The food stalls offer traditional Bavarian meals and snacks, prepared from regional products and spiced with herbs from the own herb garden. Fresh [[Steckerlfisch]] (grilled fish on a stick) is also sold in the beer garden. On Sundays bread is baked in a stone oven next to the self-serviced area. The serviced area with 120 seats is located on the terrace under a large sun shade. The beer served is [[Paulaner]] and a Maß Helles costs 7€7. <!-- price april 2011 --> All beer is drawn straight from the tap.
