Overview

• A clip from server Verena Angermeier showing multiple Maßkrüge prompted comments accusing tents of underfilling and “Schankbetrug,” though servers do not pour the beer.
• Official price lists show 2025 beer ranging from €14.50 to €15.80 per Maß, with Augustiner at the low end and Münchner Stubn at the top.
• Non‑alcoholic drinks are also costly, with table water averaging €10.95 per liter and Limo or Spezi around €12–13, fueling complaints from budget‑conscious visitors and families.
• Local customs such as ordering “a Schaumige” or “a Schnitt” mean some guests deliberately accept more foam or less beer, a practice that can be mistaken for short‑measuring by outsiders.
• Organisers point to ten free drinking‑water fountains and media offer savings tips, and reporting emphasizes the physically demanding work of Wiesn servers, with no official finding of systematic fraud to date.
