~ Wer zum trinken Wasser sich erkoren ~
 
The virtues of beer are lost on those who choose to drink just water and that's just fine for those of us that like beer. The stein without lid is ca. post WW II.
 
Wer zum trinken Wasser sich erkoren -
in dem ist Hopfen und Malz verloren!
Whoever chooses to drink water -
in them is lost hops and malt!
