~ Gutes Bier und wahres Wort ~
The verse on this enameled, glass stein, ca. late 1800's, is the pessimistic version of the similar verse with the same beginning phrase that is already on Translations Illustrated.
 
Gutes Bier und wahres Wort
seltner wird's an jedem Ort.
Good beer and sincere words
will seldom be found everywhere.
