Braunschweiger Mumme was a dark, sweet, malty liquid, and the title points to the drink's origin in Brunswick (Braunschweig), a city in northern Germany with a long brewing tradition. Mumme was made from malt that was mashed and boiled down into a thick extract rather than fermented into a conventional beer, which made it a concentrated product that could be stored and shipped. Drinks and tonics like this were often valued for their nourishing reputation, and the brew's distinctive character is worth noticing in a picture that treats a simple liquid as a subject in its own right.
