John, The text varies for this stein. However, The Beer Stein Library's article on tapestry steins has the following translation: Lieber Bier als Drück und Äerger schlucken, Und rauch dabei so vertreibst Du dir die Mücken. (The better to swallow a mug of beer than to suffer pain and anguish here, and a smoke a day drives those gnats away.) Ron
