Augustinerbräu München Munich - Oktoberfest - 50 cl - 12 flaskor

Augustiner Oktoberfestbier – 12 × 0,5 L – Münchner Wiesn-Spezialität

A rare opportunity to acquire 12 bottles of the highly sought-after Augustiner Oktoberfestbier, one of Munich’s most traditional and distinctive festival beers.

Offered in this lot are 12 original bottles of Augustiner Oktoberfestbier, each containing 0.5 litres, for a total of 6.0 litres.

The Augustiner Oktoberfestbier is a genuine seasonal specialty from Augustiner-Bräu München, one of Munich’s historic traditional breweries. The beer is brewed specifically for the Oktoberfest season and is not part of the brewery’s normal year-round range. Augustiner itself describes the Oktoberfestbier as a special Wiesn beer produced exclusively for the Oktoberfest period.

The combination of the traditional Augustiner brewery, the distinctive Oktoberfest label and its limited seasonal availability makes these bottles particularly attractive to lovers of Bavarian beer culture and collectors of special German beers.

Appearance

In the glass, the beer displays a bright, luminous straw-golden colour and a clear, brilliant appearance. The current 2026 description from the Augustiner brewmaster highlights the beer’s particularly light straw colour and its fresh, mildly aromatic hop character.

A fine white head develops when poured, contributing to the classic appearance of a traditional Munich Festbier.

Aroma

The aroma is pleasantly malty, grainy and lightly sweet, complemented by fresh, delicate hop notes. Typical impressions include fresh barley malt, bread and cereal notes, accompanied by subtle floral and grassy hop nuances.

Taste & character

The Augustiner Oktoberfestbier is a full-bodied yet remarkably smooth and refreshing Festbier.

The initial impression is dominated by soft malt sweetness and fresh grainy notes, followed by a delicate, clean hop character. The bitterness is deliberately restrained and well integrated, giving the beer a smooth and harmonious finish rather than a strongly bitter character.

At around 6.3% ABV, it has considerably more strength than a conventional Munich lager, while remaining surprisingly easy-drinking. The 2026 Augustiner specification gives the beer 13.8% original gravity and 6.3% alcohol by volume.

Bitterness

Approx. 19 IBU / EBU

A published technical description of the Augustiner Oktoberfestbier gives a bitterness of 19 EBU, describing it as a soft, well-integrated hop bitterness.

A genuine seasonal specialty

The Augustiner Oktoberfestbier is a seasonal beer and is brewed specifically for the Oktoberfest period. It is therefore not comparable to Augustiner’s regular year-round beers such as Augustiner Hell or Edelstoff. Augustiner describes it as a special Wiesn beer available during the Oktoberfest season.

The combination of limited seasonal production, the iconic Augustiner brewery and the characteristic Oktoberfest presentation makes this 12-bottle lot an appealing acquisition for collectors and enthusiasts of authentic Munich beer.
