Text:
�Es spricht Gambrinus der Herr und K�nig,
trink m��ig, doch trink nie zu wenig.�
(Gambrinus the master and king says,
drink in moderation, but never too little.)
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.
Price Range: $40-$60
