With Oktoberfest right around the corner, many Britons will be donning borrowed lederhosen and clinking steins in celebration of this beloved Bavarian festival.

And while the official festivities are held annually in Munich, there are many other destinations available for beer drinkers looking to get involved in the fun. 

From bustling European city breaks to sunny all-inclusive getaways, there are plenty of alternative spots to soak up the atmosphere this autumn.

And, in some of these locations, beers are flowing from just £1.40 a pint.

Those looking for something different from the classic Bavarian celebration can swap Munich for alternative destinations around the world.

Here's a guide to the best (cheap) alternatives for those keen to jump on the Oktoberfest bandwagon...

Chris Logan, commercial director at TUI UK&I, said: 'Oktoberfest is a great excuse to discover somewhere new, but Brits don't need to head to Munich to enjoy fantastic local beers and lively beer culture. 

'From traditional pours to modern microbreweries and lively city bars, there are plenty of destinations where customers can combine a pint with sightseeing, great food and a memorable holiday.

'And for travellers who would rather enjoy a cold drink in the sunshine, long-haul destinations such as Mexico offer a more relaxed alternative, with beaches, activities and all-inclusive options alongside the chance to sample local beers.'
