Oktoberfest has never been so expensive! A pint of beer at Oktoberfest 2022 costs between 12.60 and 13.80 euros. Compared to the last Oktoberfest in 2019, the price has increased by an average of 15.77 percent. Before the forced Corona break, twice a liter of beer cost between 10.80 and 11.80 euros.
The Oktoberfest landlords cite high inflation, increased personnel costs and huge energy prices as reasons for the price increase. A very large item are also material and professional costs in the field of tent construction.
A liter of water for 9.67 euros
Drinking water will get you off a little cheaper. The liter costs an average of 9.67 euros, which is 80 cents more than in 2019. As is known, the festival was canceled twice due to Corona.
The city of Munich does not set drink prices. As an organizer, she checks the prices of the restaurateurs and compares them with the prices in the city. According to the city, the beer there currently costs between 6.70 euros and 11.20 euros per liter of export.
“It is good that the noise limit of 14 euros has not been exceeded,” says director Clemens Baumgärtner (CSU). “Still, the beer prices are quite high. In the future, we will have to ensure that the Wiesn remains affordable.”
