A Mass is a litre of Festbier, the stronger beer brewed for Oktoberfest. That litre is about 500 kcal, with 40 g of carbs and no fat at all.

Ordinary lager is about 215 for half a litre, so two of those would be 430. Festbier is brewed stronger, and the extra alcohol is where the gap comes from.

Nobody goes to the Wiesn in Munich for one Mass, and that's fine. Two is 1,000 kcal, three is 1,500, and the half chicken hasn't even arrived yet.

From London to Cincinnati to Brisbane, Oktoberfests pour the same beer into the same steins from late September into early October. The litre counts the same everywhere.

Tips

  1. 1Have a Radler between rounds, beer with lemonade at about 400 a litre.
  2. 2Drink a glass of water with every Mass, tomorrow morning will thank you.
  3. 3Order a half litre where the tent pours one, that's 250 instead of 500.
