Text:
�Willst du echte Deutsche Kraft,
trinke des Gambrinus Saft [beer]!�
(If you want true German strenth,
drink the juice of Gambrinus!)
Text reference is to Gambrinus, �the king of beer�, long 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.
