If this stein could talk, it would probably be in German and slightly slurred. This richly colored raised-relief beer mug features woodland gnomes, oversized mushrooms, and a pair of jolly drinkers celebrating the fine art of keeping one's throat happily wet. The embossed inscription reads "Viel besser fröhlet jeder Hahn / Wenn er die Kehle feuchtet an." Translation? "Every rooster crows better when his throat is wet."
We'll drink to that.
