Steadiest Beer Prices at Saxony’s Oktoberfest: Where the Pints Keep Pouring

While the largest Oktoberfest in the world, located in Munich, Germany, has recently seen an increase in beer prices, with a liter of festival beer now priced at 14.90 euros, most Oktoberfests in Saxony are bucking this trend.

In contrast, the Upper Lusatian Oktoberfest in Kemnitz is offering beer at a more reasonable rate of 6.50 euros per liter, and smaller beers (0.4 liters) for 3.50 euros.

“We are keeping our prices stable. There’s no justification for raising beer prices to such exorbitant levels,” states Michael Zirps, one of the organizers of the Kemnitz Oktoberfest.In Dresden, the state capital, beer prices are also remaining steady. At the “Pichmännel Oktoberfest,” a liter of festival beer costs 11.90 euros.

“Just like last year, our beer is priced at 11.90 euros,” reveals Frank Haase, the marketing director of Feldschlösschen. “We simply don’t want to alienate our customers with high prices.”

On the other hand, in Chemnitz, the “Wooosn” Oktoberfest is offering the original Munich Spaten beer for 11.90 euros per liter, which is notably lower than the Bavarian prices.Our patrons have their boundaries when it comes to expenditures. This is why we’ve eliminated the minimum turnover requirement at our tables,” explains Henrik Bonesky, the event organizer.

The sole Saxon Oktoberfest that mirrors Munich’s beer prices is the Oktoberfest at the Old Trade Fair in Leipzig, where a liter of festival beer will cost 13 euros this year.

Nevertheless, Leipzig offers a fantastic lineup of entertainment, including popular figures like pop star Michelle and Malle singer Mickie Krause.So, if you’re seeking an Oktoberfest experience that won’t strain your wallet, consider heading to Saxony, where the beer is flowing, and the prices are reasonable.
