A waitress carrying glasses of beer, known as mass

A picture taken 16 September 2006 shows a waitress carrying glasses of beer, known as mass, on the opening day of Munich's traditional Oktoberfest beer festival. As the German Radeberger brewery announced 29 November 2006, beer is getting more expensive in 2007, due to higher prices of malt and energy and increasing salaries.
