“Seid ihr vereint in fröhlicher Runde,
so feiert beim Bierkrug die schöne Stunde.”
(If you are together in happy company,

“Gerste mit Hopfen giebt gute Tropfen.” (recessed base versions)
(Barley with hops gives good drops.)
Franz Defregger (1835-1921) was a Munich artist and professor whose depictions of Tyrolean life have come to symbolize the genre and are often seen on beer steins.
A special order version of this stein (below right) was produced for the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair, with a revised central image and text reading “Tyrol in St. Louis”. Additional D&B steins known to have been produced for the Fair include Nos. 212, 268, 366, 456, 458, 523 and 575.
