In Germany, there is a saying "Gutes Bier im Land
erfre jeden Stand". Translated from German, this means "Good beer pleases all citizens equally."
This beer jug by designer Christian Warth is a perfect illustration of this proverb.
To do this, Christian Warth has depicted four different types of men from different social groups: a student, a priest, an entrepreneur, and a soldier. They all have one thing in common: high-quality beer.
