Visitors to Munich's 181th Oktoberfest, which came to an end on October 5, drank substantially less beer than last year, ioL News reported.
About 6.3 million visitors consumed a total of 6.5 million litres of beer while in 2013, 6.4 million guests were served 7.7 million litres.
Munich Mayor Dieter Reiter called this year's festival “unbelievably pleasant,” and police and rescue services also were generally pleased.
Poor weather at the start of the festival resulted in fewer visitors, it is reported.
