Oktoberfest revellers tried to steal almost 100,000 glasses, as beer sales fall

摘要

The Oktoberfest celebration in Munich came to an end on 6 October, and now, the organisers have crunched the numbers to see how things went. Around 6.3 million people attended the beer festival in Germany this year, but attendees drank just 7.3 million litres in the festival tents, 200,000 fewer than in 2018. "It was a very nice Wiesn", Oktoberfest boss Clemens Baumgartner said. "Our motto was 'loved and lived', and that's the best way to describe it. Whether it was sunny and warm or rainy and cool, it was a peaceful Wiesn with a relaxed audience that accepted our offers very well."
