The world's biggest beer festival Oktoberfest seems to be surprising its visitors with prices of up to 15 pounds a mug of beer.

The event usually gathers several million visitors each year from around the world, mainly due to the low prices of drinks.

But it was different this year when a traditional liter bottle could not be found for less than 11-12 euros according to the British DailyMail.

The sudden increase of 6.12% has been criticized by the British who often attend the event, as glass after glass, they ran out of money.

Commentator Kathi Seidl has documented her visits to Oktoberfest events and the increase in prices, as a large glass of beer cost 13 euros and a plate of meat about 7 euros, writes the Daily Mail.

Others were undecided on how expensive the festival was, saying the prices were reasonable for the experience.

Another British commenter wrote: "I was there in 2013 with 6 colleagues, and we spent €1700 on the toilet despite the hotel."

"But this year many said the festival had turned into the Disney of alcohol."

A spokesman for Oktoberfest said that the prices were not set "by the municipality of Munich" but by the organizers.

The latter say that "the prices suit the Munich area where the prices of a liter of export beer range from €7.10 to €12.20."
