WHAT DOES GAMBRINUS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Gambrinus

Gambrinus

Gambrinus, is a legendary European culture hero celebrated as an icon of beer, brewing, joviality, and joie de vivre. Traditional songs, poems, and stories describe him as a king, duke, or count of Flanders and Brabant. Typical representations in the visual arts depict him as a rotund, bearded duke or king, holding a tankard or mug, and sometimes with a keg nearby. Gambrinus is sometimes erroneously called a patron saint, but he is neither a saint nor a tutelary deity. In one legendary tradition, he is beer's inventor or envoy. Although legend attributes to him no special powers to bless brews or to make crops grow, tellers of old tall tales are happy to adapt them to fit Gambrinus. Gambrinus stories use folklore motifs common to European folktales, such as the trial by ordeal. Some, of course, imagine Gambrinus as a man who has an enormous capacity for drinking beer. The prevailing theory for the origin of Gambrinus is that he is patterned after John the Fearless and/or John I, Duke of Brabant. By this reckoning, the name Gambrinus is a corruption of Jan Primus.:118:81 The name Gambrinus is sometimes rendered as Cambrinus.
