Gambrinus, The King of Beer It is Gambrinus who brought beer to earth, and here is the legend of how this came to pass, and how he came to be King: Gambrinus was a poor apprentice in glass-making, hailing from a little town in the Flandres called Fresne sur l'Escaut. Gambrinus soon found himself arrested by the town officials and spent a full month in jail for the trouble he caused in the street and the noisy disturbance he had caused in the night. Gambrinus slid the noose over his neck, but just when he was about to step off the platform, he saw before him the devil himself. www.ewind.com /~sayc/gambrinus.history.html   (1325 words)

Gambrinus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Gambrinus is a legendary king of Flanders, and an unofficial patron saint of beer or beer brewing. In what is possibly the earliest known record of the name, the German poet Burkart Waldis mentioned Gambrinus in the year 1543, explaining that Gambrinus learned the art of brewing from Isis, the ancient Egyptian goddess of motherhood and fertility. Gambrinus is often depicted either in kingly garb, dressed as an English knight of the Middle Ages, or (less commonly) as a plump old man. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Gambrinus   (328 words)

Gambrinus In Bavaria, the Franconians claim the Gambrinus appears every year on the evening of April 30st May Eve, which in Germany is called Walpurgis Night, an evening of pagan feasting when witches fly on brooms to mountaintops where they dance with the devil who appears as a goat. In reality "Gambrinus" sounds a lot like someone (who had too much beer to drink) might slur the name Jan Primus-John the First, the son of the Kaiser Henry III and a real historical Duke of Brabant. So flattered were they to have the son of the Kaiser and a duke as a union brother that they plastered his picture all over the place and carved his likeness in the stone walk of their cellars. hjem.get2net.dk /gambrinus/Gambrinuseng.htm   (499 words)

Gambrinus told the devil him that he wasn't living up to his side of the deal, because he was still in love with Flandrine. steincollectors.org /library/articles/gambrinu/gambrinu.htm   (1347 words)
