Richard, A photo is really needed to provide help. Per The Beer Stein Library, your German phrase and translation is “Gerstensaft gibt Muth und Kraft.” (Barley juice gives courage and strength.) This is in keeping with the scene you describe. West Germany makes your stein contemporary and dates it from May 1949 to October 1990. Werner Corzelius is a contemporary stein maker that used the mark of a small "w" inside a large "C." You can see the mark on Stein Marks in the Library section of this site. Post some photos of the stein and the bottom for more assistance. Ron
