Oktoberfest 2026 in Munich: what a Mass of beer and other things cost, with source and year

What does a Mass of beer cost at Oktoberfest 2026?

A litre of beer costs 14.90 to 15.90 EUR in the big tents in 2026, per the festival's own beer price page (14.90 EUR in the Augustiner-Festhalle, 15.75 EUR at the Fischer-Vroni, 15.90 EUR in the Armbrustschützenzelt, the Löwenbräu-Festzelt and the Pschorr-Bräurosl, 15.80 EUR in the other eight big tents, and wheat beer at 18.40 EUR a litre in Kufflers Weinzelt); across all 35 tents the City of Munich puts the 2026 range at 14.80 to 15.90 EUR and the average at 15.61 EUR, 2.38 percent more than in 2025 and about 44 percent above the 2017 average of 10.87 EUR.

Entry to the Oide Wiesn costs 4 EUR from age 15, with no charge up to age 14 and after 21:00 through the exits; the historic rides there cost 1.50 EUR, and its 2026 litre is 14.80 EUR in the Museumszelt, 14.90 EUR in the Volkssängerzelt, 15.30 EUR in the Musikantenzelt and 15.80 EUR in the Festzelt Tradition. All figures are the 2026 lists of the festival, the City of Munich and the tents, read on 12 and 14 September 2026.

The ten-year change, 10.87 EUR in 2017 to 15.61 EUR in 2026, is 4.74 EUR or about 44 percent by the city's figures; the two series differ in their base, so the percentage is approximate. Per big tent in 2026, with 2025 in brackets: Armbrustschützenzelt 15.90 (15.50), Augustiner-Festhalle 14.90 (14.50), Bräurosl 15.90 (15.40), Fischer-Vroni 15.75 (15.40), Löwenbräu-Festzelt 15.90 (15.40), Ochsenbraterei 15.80 (15.35), the other seven big tents 15.80 (15.40) and Kufflers Weinzelt wheat beer 18.40 (17.80); the festival's beer price page carries the 2026 list.

How strong is Wiesn beer?

Wiesn beer has between 5.8 and 6.3 percent alcohol by the breweries' own product pages, 5.9 to 6.3 percent in the City of Munich's 2026 table, against 5.2 percent for Augustiner's everyday Helles; by its protected geographical indication an Oktoberfest beer must have at least 13.6 percent original wort and between 5.3 and 6.6 percent alcohol.

The six Munich breweries and their Wiesn beers, the brewery's own figure first and the City of Munich's 2026 table in brackets where it differs:

• Augustiner Oktoberfestbier: 6.3 percent, at least 13.5 percent original wort by the brewery (13.8 in the city table), the only brewery at the Oktoberfest still pouring exclusively from wooden barrels.
• Hofbräu Oktoberfestbier: 6.3 percent on the Hofbräuhaus page (city table 6.0).
• Löwenbräu Oktoberfestbier: 6.1 percent, 13.7 percent original wort.
• Paulaner Oktoberfest Bier: 6.0 percent, 13.7 percent original wort, brewed for the Wiesn since 1818 (city table 5.9).
• Hacker-Pschorr Oktoberfest Märzen: 5.8 percent on the brewery's export page (city table 5.9).
• Spaten Oktoberfestbier: 5.9 percent, city table only.

One Mass is a litre; two Mass are the usual minimum consumption of a reserved table.

What do other things cost on the grounds?

Entry to the grounds and the tents costs nothing; in 2026 a litre of table water averages 11.13 EUR and a litre of Spezi 12.84 EUR (City of Munich), half a Hendl costs 17.20 EUR in the Augustiner-Festhalle and up to 19.90 EUR in the Paulaner Festzelt and a big Brezn about 7 to 8 EUR (Munich press), the Oide Wiesn costs 4 EUR to enter with its rides at 1.50 EUR, and the Ferris wheel was 11 EUR for adults in 2025 (press).

Rides are paid one by one at each ride's cash desk. The city publishes drink prices only, and the tents publish their menus as images, so the food and ride lines below come from the Munich press and carry their year.
