Text:
�Gambrinus war ein weiser K�nig,
er sagte: Trinket nicht zu wenig.�
(Gambrinus was a wise king,
he said: Don�t drink too little.)
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.
