The opening of the Munich Beer Festival in Germany has led to an inflation that has caused beer prices to rise by nearly 4%.

On the afternoon of the 20th local time, the 190th Munich Oktoberfest kicked off with the traditional tapping ceremony. Munich Mayor Dieter tapped the first keg on site and wished everyone a "safe Oktoberfest". Over the next 16 days, it is expected that millions of people will come to participate in this beer festival held in the Bavarian capital of Munich. Approximately 600 police officers will be responsible for security at the event. It is reported that due to inflation factors, the price of beer at this year's Munich Oktoberfest has increased by nearly 4%, with the price of one liter of beer ranging from 14.5 euros to 15.8 euros, equivalent to about 121 yuan to 132 yuan.
