Learn A Little More.......

I am gonna tell you all a little about Jagermeister if you dont already know much about it! It is not just a alcholic Beverage it has a "so called" legend behind it...
Please read...

The word Jägermeister in German means "Expert Hunter"
(combining Jäger, Hunter, and Meister, Master). The Jägermeister
logo, the head of a stag with a glowing cross between the antlers,
is a reference to the story of Saint Hubert.
This is the Hunter's badge of honor, that he protect and nourish his game, hunt sportingly, as isproper, and honor the Creator in creation.
Or, slightly more loosely but preserving rhyme and meter:

This is the hunter's badge of glory: That he protects and tends his quarry, Hunts with honor, as is due, And through the beast to God is true.


First of all... What's with that label? Way back in the seventh century,
a young lad named Hubertus was envied for his purity (remember, this is only a "so called" legend). Theoderich of Burgundy was one of these jealous sorts, andso waged war against Hubertus and his uncle, Pipin (when was the last time you spoke to your Uncle Pipin? lol). By defeating Theoderich, Hubertus proved himself valiant in battle and dashing in a codpiece, and so won the hand of the beautiful
princess, Floribana. Together they lived happily with the benefits of wealth, good fortune, and clear skin. Alas, the good Princess soon fell ill and died.

In his grief, Hubertus turned away from the sumptuous life of royalty and became a solitary figure, often going to the woods to hunt alone. During one of these hunting trips, Hubertus encountered a splendid stag with a cross that appeared to float between its antlers (and no, Hubertus had not been drinking at the time). The vision moved Hubertus to change his life. He gave all his material possessions to the poor, gave up his title, and founded several monasteries. After his death, Hubertus was made a saint and became the Patron Saint of Hunters.
