Morphology
The meaning 'an outdoor area where beer is served' is directly and transparently composed from 'beer' (the drink) + 'garden' (an outdoor area); a B1 learner who knows both words can infer a place for drinking beer outdoors. The compound follows a common noun+noun composition pattern and has clear cross-linguistic parallels, so the sense is immediately accessible without prior exposure.
Etymology
Beer garden comes from a German idea called 'Biergarten'. People sat at long tables under trees outside a pub to drink beer, so the simple picture of beer in a garden explains why it now means 'an outdoor area where beer and other drinks are served'.
