Oktoberfest 2025 Runs With Record Beer Prices as Serving Practices Draw Criticism

Beer now costs €14.50 to €15.80 per Maß, with Munich reviewing tent price requests rather than setting them.

Overview

  • The 190th Wiesn runs 20 September–5 October across roughly 40 tents and more than 100 rides and attractions.
  • Most large tents charge €15.40 per Maß, up about 3.5% from 2024; Augustiner is €14.50, Münchner Stubn €15.80, and Kufflers Weinzelt Weißbier €17.80.
  • A detailed price list confirms higher rates for soft drinks as well, with a liter of water averaging €10.95 and Spezi €12.48.
  • Ten public fountains on the grounds offer free drinking water for refills, though prefilled bottles are not allowed inside tents.
  • Social media posts by server Verena Angermeier have intensified complaints about underfilled Maßkrüge, with no official determination reported.
