Quote:German officials warn Oktoberfest tent operators to stop skimping on the beer

 

German officials are reportedly warning Munich beer tent operators not to give skimpy pours to tourists and other drinkers attending the city’s world-class brew fest starting this weekend.

According to Germany’s Münchner Merkur newspaper, venues at last year’s Oktoberfest failed to fill steins of beer and served them with too much head.  As a result, some drinkers who paid almost $14 for a beer lost as much as $3 of liquid per drink, city authorities said.
