~ Lieb, Sang und Gerstensaft ~
 
These are three things that should always be part of one's life on this stein marked with the Merkelbach & Wick logo, ca. early 1900's.
 
Lieb, Sang und Gerstensaft
das sind drei Dinge
die ich mit wahrer Lust
allzeit besinge.
Love, song and barley juice (beer)
are the three things
that I with true joy
always praise.
