Oktoberfest 2026 Beer Prices: Full Tent by Tent Maß Price List
If there’s one question every visitor asks before landing in Munich, it’s this: how much is a beer going to cost me? The city of Munich released the official 2026 figures on Oktoberfest 2026 Beer Prices, and the answer is a one-litre Maß will run you between €14.80 and €15.90, depending on which tent you sit in. That’s about 2.38% higher than last year, when prices sat between €14.50 and €15.80.
This guide breaks down exactly what a Maß costs in every tent, what food and non-alcoholic drinks add to the bill, how tipping and payment work on the Wiesn, and what a realistic daily budget looks like. While the price of beer changes every year, the way tents set their prices and the overall spending pattern stays fairly consistent, so this guide should help you plan your visit with confidence.

The table below gives you the headline numbers before you dive into the tent-by-tent breakdown further down the page.

Good to know: Beer prices at Oktoberfest are not set by the city of Munich. Each tent’s landlord sets their own price, and the city only checks that the number is reasonable by comparing it to beer prices at large restaurants elsewhere in Munich.

Oide Wiesn Beer Prices
The Oide Wiesn, the nostalgic historical section of the festival, generally runs a little cheaper than the main grounds and has its own small entry fee. If you want to see exactly where it sits relative to the main tents, check our festival map.
| Tent | 2026 Price | 2025 Price |
|---|---|---|
| Museumszelt | €14.80 | €14.60 |
| Volkssängerzelt (Schützenlisl) | €14.90 | €14.90 |
| Musikantenzelt | €15.30 | €14.80 |
| Festzelt Tradition | €15.80 | €15.35 |
Non-Alcoholic Drink Prices 2026
Not drinking beer doesn’t mean you’ll spend less. Non-alcoholic drinks at Oktoberfest are priced close to beer, and in some tents, water actually costs more than a Maß.
| Drink | 2026 Average Price | 2025 Average Price |
|---|---|---|
| Bottled water | €11.13 / litre | €10.95 / litre |
| Spezi (cola-lemonade mix) | €12.84 / litre | €12.48 / litre |
| Lemonade | €12.35 / litre | €12.11 / litre |
Weinzelt has consistently had the most expensive water on the grounds in past years, so if you’re budgeting tightly, it’s worth checking prices before you sit down there.
How Beer Prices Have Changed Over the Years
Oktoberfest beer prices have climbed every year since 2004, and looking at the trend puts 2026’s numbers in perspective.
| Year | Maß Price Range |
|---|---|
| 2015 | €10.00 – €10.40 |
| 2019 | €11.40 – €11.80 |
| 2023 | €12.60 – €14.90 |
| 2024 | €13.60 – €15.30 |
| 2025 | €14.50 – €15.80 |
| 2026 | €14.80 – €15.90 |
That’s roughly a 55% increase over the top price alone in just over a decade. The 2026 rise of 2.38% is actually smaller than some previous years, so while beer isn’t getting cheaper, the pace of the increase has slowed slightly compared to the sharper jumps seen between 2023 and 2025.
What Food Costs at Oktoberfest 2026
Beer is only part of the bill. Here’s what to expect for the most popular dishes across the tents. For a full walkthrough of what’s on the menu, see our trip planning guide.
| Dish | Typical Price |
|---|---|
| Half roast chicken (Hendl) | €16 – €20 |
| Pork knuckle (Schweinshaxe) | €24 – €28 |
| Pretzel (Brezn) | €4 – €7 |
| Obatzda with bread | €9 – €12 |
| Steckerlfisch (grilled fish on a stick) | €14 – €18 |
| Bratwurst plate | €12 – €18 |
Prices vary by tent and by dish, so treat these as planning ranges rather than fixed numbers. Several tents also run daily lunch specials that bundle a main and a side for less than the regular menu price, which is worth asking about if you’re trying to keep costs down.
Payment and Tipping: What You Need to Know
Cash is still the safest way to pay at Oktoberfest. Card acceptance has grown in recent years and most big tents now take contactless or chip-and-PIN for individual orders, but coverage is inconsistent, especially at small food stalls, rides, and for quick single-drink orders. Carrying enough cash for the day, plus a bit extra, is the more reliable approach.
Tipping is customary but not mandatory. The standard practice is to round up the bill or add €1 to €2 per Maß directly to your server, who carries your tab in her head for the whole session and is also who you pay when the time comes. Bathroom attendants are typically tipped €0.50 to €1 per visit as well.
A Realistic Daily Budget for 2026
Putting it all together, here’s what a day at Oktoberfest 2026 might realistically cost per person.
| Item | Cost |
|---|---|
| Two Maß of beer | €29.60 – €31.80 |
| One main meal | €15 – €30 |
| Snacks and extras | €10 – €20 |
| Tips | €4 – €8 |
| Total (comfortable day) | €60 – €90 |
