Hi William, hi John,
John did very well with his translation; the full text is:"Gerste und Hopfen geben gute Tropfen. Wer diese nicht zum Trunk erkoren, bei dem ist Hopfen und Malz verloren". So I only want to add that the first line is "Barley (Gerste) and hops". "bei dem ist Hopfen und Malz verloren" is a German idiom; a person, who has "lost hops and malt" is just mad, so the full text can be translated with: "He who doesn't drink them is just a jerk".
Best regards Marc
