Beer lovers, help me out...
Hey guys, this has absolutely nothing to do with hunting or fishing. Well, maybe drinking beer, but what I'm looking for is some help identifying a beer stein I have. My dad gave it to me years ago. I know it's from Germany. He got it from an uncle of his that was stationed there in the military, probably shortly after WW2. I don't remember the exact translation of the poem on the sides, but it has something to do with a refreshing drink in a good time (happy hour?), does something and makes hearts young. The background looks black in the picture, but it's actually dark blue. I know there's likely no real monetary value to it with it's condition. It's been broken and repaired a few times. I have drank beer from it, although it's kinda awkward with the lid. Gets it the way a little. Maybe because it's been repaired and originally the lid's out of the way. Also it leaks just a little. So, I just use it as a decorative item in my kitchen, and keep beer bottle caps in it. I have several German brands pictured with it. I like American beer too, and I'm as American as they come. But you gotta hand it to those Germans, they really know how to brew. Anyway, This may be a long shot, but maybe some of y'all are fans of German beer too and might be familiar with German beer steins. I'm also posting this on a website about collecting, selling, and identifying beer steins, but I figured I'd post it here too. I'm just curious about identifying it. There's no maker's mark that I can see, but some of them don't have them and they're still authentic. I really don't care, I just think it's a cool beer stein. Any takers? Let me know what y'all think.
