| ~ Ein guter Grund will keinen Schund ~ | |
| This statement can be interpreted in many ways, but all are similar: A good foundation will give good results. In this case: Good ingredients will yield good beer. This large, relief, pouring stein is marked with the Mettlach logo and mold number 1737 and dated 1900. | |
| Ein guter Grund will keinen Schund. | Good ground will not yield garbage. |
