The festival will be held for the first time after a two-year hiatus caused by the coronavirus pandemic. During this time, the price of beer increased.
On Saturday, September 17, the 187th Oktoberfest began in Munich. This was reported by Facts with reference to the German media.
The beer festival was held for the first time after a two-year hiatus caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Visitors to the festival are not required to comply with anti-epidemic restrictions.
It was reported that the first day of the holiday was a little disappointing for the guests: it was cold in Munich, it was raining, and the beer prices had gone up.
Two years ago, a glass of beer at Oktoberfest cost an average of 12 euros 60 cents, today – 13 euros 18 cents. The price increase is almost 16%, but the organizers of Oktoberfest believe that it will not scare away the guests.
The beer festival will last until October 3rd.
It was earlier reported that around 487 beer breweries, restaurants, wine sellers will participate in the festival.
