Germany's Oktoberfest: Price of beer going up

The price of a liter of beer at Munich’s Oktoberfest is set to rise again. This year, you’ll pay up to 14.90 euros for a liter of beer at the world’s largest folk festival – a price increase of around 6 percent over 2022. Non-alcoholic beverages such as mineral water and sodas will cost between 10 and 11.65 euros per liter. The Oktoberfest is held annually from September 16 to October 3. Millions of visitors are certain to once again descend upon the Bavarian capital – despite the hike in prices.⁠
Will you be amongst them?⁠

I’ve been, back in 2005 when a liter was about 5-6 euros

The price for beer is cheap compared to flying there sheesh.

The same you would spend on a regular night out in Italy for a liter, each bottle is 0.33cl and 3 bottles will cost you around 5€ each. Most people will be at least tipsy after an entire liter

They broke a record this year 2023 with 7 1/2 million people but beer sales where down. So hopefully 2024 they’ll be smart and not raise the beer prices.

Still, about half the price of what we pay for in Singapore...

I think most people going there for the fun, not to get drunk. I guess most of them only drink 1L or less.
