--- Quote from: coppice on September 18, 2022, 08:28:05 pm ---Most of the beer at Oktoberfest seems to be bought by the jug, which is larger than a litre. If the price is per jug, rather than per litre, it doesn't seem extreme. --- End quote --- The beer is sold by the masskrug, which holds one litre. It looks big because a litre is a lot of beer. |

A "mass" = 1 litre (I live in Munich). Normal order in a pub/bar/Bierkeller would be "ein halbes" meaning 1/2 litre. Smaller is not offered. If you want smaller, you need to go to Köln/Cologne, where they are very proud of their thimble-sized "Kölsch". ::) |

I like Weihenstephaner Vitus (weizenbock) and Hoegaarden (witbier), although I haven't drank any alcohol in the last year or two. They cost here about 10€ a liter in the store, double to triple that in bars. :-// |
| Zeyneb:
Hmm, €12.60 for a beer? I can buy a 500 ml beer from the supermarket for € 0.59. Knowing I'm not pissing away al that money and enjoying the comfort of my own house, without any risk of having obnoxious people around I do prefer the latter. |

(Siri) Phrasebook terms for Oktoberfistfest visitors. :( Bitte ein halb großes. (Half a gross one please) :popcorn: Langsam trinken (Drink slow) :-- Benzin ist billiger (Gasoline is cheaper) :scared: Alkoholfreies bier!!!! (Fun free beer) :'( Mein Krug ist leer (My jug is empty) :-// Ich habe kein Geld mehr (I have no more money) |
