Oktoberfest 2011 Beer Consumption
Beer consumption at Oktoberfest 2011 is expected to hit an all-time record, with the festival running one day longer this year (17 days) than usual.
Over the last few years, beer consumption has averaged well over 6.5 million liters, with a staggering 7 million liters drunk at Oktoberfest last year.
With visitor numbers also expected to be higher in 2011 - 6.4 million people celebrated Oktoberfest last year - a consistent historical average of 1.1 liters per person should see record levels of brew being downed by thirsty punters.
