German glassware

[nostalgia]

A friend of mine gave me some really cool glassware that her dad had brought back from Germany over the years.

This first set is very delicate with very thin rims. She gave me a set of 8, 7 and 12 from left to right.

These three are very heavy glass. She gave me one of each and two boots

These will be perfect for my Oktoberfest party this year!

Looks like her Dad liked Southern Germany
I dig the Dinkel Acker glas. Haven't had one in quite a while

The top ones are Pilsner glasses and the others are for everyday lager drinking.

Nice score.:rockin:

Take a couple more pics of the back of the DAB and the couple kissing writing and we could translate it for you if you'd like.

Close enough for ya?

I really like the Bernon-Balley mug. It's the style of mug I had my first Optimator in. It's a very fond memory of hanging at a biergarten on Staten Island.

Awesome score on the glassware.....I use to really like Dinkel Acker. My German teacher actually told me about it, too bad the place I bought it from doesn't sell it anymore.

Sure is...

Trink nach der Meister Brauch: mit tiefen Zug aus klarem Krug und mit
Verstande auch

Drink like the master: with deep ways (manner or thoughts) from a clear mug and with understanding too.

The second one is harder as it has some dialect in it...

Die Liab und der Suss (looks like 2 "f"s, but they are really double "s") dos reibt den Menschen uss...something along the lines of either "Lovers and sweethearts like to rub up against you (meaning people or each other)"...think "grinding" or "it's sweet to be next to you".

I could be off a bit, but not by much. Anyone else want to try?

"Die Liab' und der Süff, Dös reibt den Menschen uff"

That means basically that "love and being drunk is the people's excitement." Basically people mind other people's business when it comes to love and alcohol.

The way it is written is clearly ff not ss (sorry homebrewer_99) even though in that font style it could be ss, too (sometimes). The saying is definitely more from the South; however, it is hard to say from what area. It’s actually something my grandma would still tell me. Picture wise it’s more the Southeast (Bavaria).

Dan: Hey, no problem...I definitely don't know all the German words... Where was your Grandmother from?

Looks Schwabisch to me...

You're right, changing the "s" to "f" would change "Suss" or "Suß" (sweet) to "Suff" (hitting the bottle/drinking)...as in G'Suffa!!

All my family is from the Schwäbische Alb, about 1h south of Stuttgart. I was born and raised there, too, but haven't lived there for more than 8 years.

Nice area around Schwarzwald and Rheinfals...

I find it's funny that I didn't see any Rottweilers in Rottweil (except for the people that is...)

I lived in Augsburg 75-79 and worked in Bamberg from 99-04.

Yeah it is quite nice there. Funny that you mention Rottweil. RW is about 20min west to my home town A lot of small, local brews there everywhere!
Augsburg is pretty nice, too. The South is def the choice area

 

[homebrewer_99]

Most definitely!!

mmmm, beer *does* taste better when drunk from these
