In discussing Oktoberfest for non-beer drinkers, this is one of the first questions that comes up. Sadly, the answer is no. While cider is a popular beer-fallback here in the US, this is not the case at Oktoberfest.

Apfelsaftschorle
However, if it’s apples you want, apples you can get. In that case, you’ll want to look for what’s called Apfelsaftschorle.

Apfelsaftschorle is basically a (non-alcoholic) apple juice spritzer. Literally, apple juice mixed with carbonated water. But, it’s still an option for you non-beer drinkers at Oktoberfest that’s somewhere in the realm of cider.
