~ Das Bier das nicht getrunken ~
 
If the beer is not worthy of drinking, then it doesn't meet the standard of what Gambrinus, the king of beer, showed us how to make. That is the theme on this blue/gray, stoneware stein without lid, ca. 1900.
 
Das Bier das nicht getrunken
verfehlt stets den Beruf
zu dem ihr deutschen Brüder
Gambrinus es Euch schuf.
The beer that is not drunk
always fails the calling
of which your German brother
Gambrinus made for you.
