Thinking of

drinking at

Oktoberfest?

On average between 6 and
7 million liters of beer are
drunk at the Oktoberfest in
Munich, German. The prices
for a liter of beer there are
not determined by the
Munich city authorities but
by the proprietors.
This year the cost of a
liter of beer ranges from €
14.80 ($17.13 U.S.) to €
15.90 ($18.29 U.S.). That is
an average of 2.38 percent
higher than in 2025.
Although the beverage
prices are not set by the City
of Munich, it is the event
organizer and reviews the
prices quoted by restaurant
and bar owners to ensure
they are reasonable. They
make a comparison with the
prices charged by large-scale
food and beverage
establishments in Munich.
In 2026, non-alcoholic
beverages are 11.13 euros
($13.08) for bottled water,
12.84 euros ($14.86) for
Spezi, and 12.35 euros
($14.30) for lemonade.

Say it in German!

Das ist mein erstes
Oktoberfest.
“This is my first
Oktoberfest.”

Noch ein Bier, bitte!
“Another beer, please!”

Ein Prosit der
Gemütlichkeit.
“A toast to cheer
and good times.”
