~ Braun ist meine Maid ~ | |
This little ditty of a verse refers to either the brown stein or brown beer (or possibly a girlfriend) which are always foaming over (with presumed excitement). The 0.5 L. stein is V&B Mettlach mold # 2942 dated 1904. Note: the "Brauerstern" (brewer's star) on the side with the ubiquitous "paragraph11" which refers to a 19th C. drinking code. | |
Braun ist meine Maid, schäumt über jederzeit. |
Brown is my maid (young lady) and she foams over at every time. |
