Overview

• Most large tents list beer at about €15.40 per litre in 2025, with prices ranging from €14.50 (Augustiner) to €15.80 (Münchner Stubn), an increase of roughly 3.5% year over year.
• An Instagram clip of server Verena Angermeier carrying multiple Maßkrüge drew accusations of ‘Schankbetrug’, though she transports drinks and is not the person who pours them.
• The ‘Schaumige’—also known as ‘Schnitt’ or ‘Pfiff’—is a longstanding local order with roughly two‑thirds to three‑quarters foam that can be requested off‑menu on the Wiesn at the normal Maß price.
• Some Munich pubs and smaller festivals officially sell smaller, foam‑heavy variants at a lower price, but on the Oktoberfest grounds the foamy pour is typically charged like a full litre.
• Beyond beer, non‑alcoholic drinks are steep—average €10.95 per litre for water and over €12 for Limo or Spezi—prompting affordability concerns for families, even as the city offers free refill stations on the grounds.
