~ Das Bier ist gut ~
 
Here's another way of phrasing the Turners' motto (see entries under Gut Heil) on this relief stein marked "Original Thewalt" (Anything marked "original" is probably not original in the sense of being the first made, but there is no intention here to deceive.) and "Western Germany 681 Limited Edition" circa post WWII.
 
Das Bier ist gut,
das Herz ist frisch,
die Seele froh und frei.

Drum Heute und in Ewigkeit
"Gut Heil" der Turnerei.
The beer is good,
the heart is fresh,
the spirit is merry and free.

Therefore today and in eternity
"Good Health" to the Turners (Gymnasts).
