�Wohl bekomm�s!�
(To your health!)
�Hoch dir Gambrinus, V�lkerfreund und deinem Gerstensaft,
der Schnaps u. Not, zum Teufel jagd u. Frohsinn giebt u. Kraft.�
(Long may you live Gambrinus, friend of the people and his barley juice,
who chases away liquor and misery and gives us happiness and strength.)
Gambrinus, �the king of beer�, has long been a universal symbol of beer and brewing. It has been suggested that the character may be drawn from the claimed real-life inventor of hopped malt beer, Jan Primus (Johann I), a 13th-century Belgian Duke and President of the Brussels Guild of Brewers.
