The inscription on the mug reads: "Willst du nicht dem Frosche gleich im Sumpf versinken,
steige in Gambrunus Reich wo volle Humpen winken". (If you dont want to sink into the mud like a frog, enter Gambrinus "kingdom" where full steins are beckoning.)

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.
