What’s the secret behind the rich, malty flavor of Spaten's Optimator? Join us in the Two Guys in Beer podcast studio as we celebrate Doppelbock Day without our friend Jake from Seattle, who’s recovering from an emergency appendectomy. Despite his absence, we raise our glasses to him and dive into the legacy of Munich's Spaten Brewery, a monumental institution since 1397. Listen in as we share listener stories, lift our "12-ounce weights," and explore the beer culture that makes Munich a beer lover's dream.

This episode is a sensory journey through the tasting notes of Spaten's Optimator, a quintessential Doppelbock beer. Get ready for some pronunciation misadventures and our enthusiastic plans for Oktoberfest in Munich later this year. We compare the robust, malty flavors of Optimator to lighter beers, discuss the significance of its green bottle, and unravel the clever symbolism behind Spaten's iconic logo. From the meticulous brewing processes to the deep-rooted traditions of German beer, we leave no stein unturned.

But that's not all! We shift gears to discuss viral internet sensations and our amusing experience at a Florida Panthers hockey game. From missed Uber rides to the quirks of hockey culture in the southern states, our stories provide both laughs and insights. Whether you’re passionate about beer, fascinated by viral trends, or curious about hockey's southern expansion, this episode promises a delightful mix of humor, history, and hearty discussions.
