Can you imagine savoring a beer that dates back to the 14th century? Join us as we celebrate Doppelbock Day and uncover the rich history of Munich's Spaten brewery, which has been crafting exceptional brews since 1397. Unfortunately, our friend Jake from Seattle couldn't join us due to an unexpected appendectomy, but we dedicate this episode to him. We promise you'll gain a newfound appreciation for Spaten's legacy and learn some fascinating tidbits about brewery culture along the way.
Tune in for a mouth-watering tasting and review of Spaten's Optima Doppelbock, a robust malt liqueur with a 7.6% ABV. With flavors reminiscent of a light Guinness, this beer's deep malty essence and nutty undertones make it perfect for a cozy autumn evening by the fire. We'll also delve into the historical significance of the malt shovels on the label and discuss the ideal occasions to enjoy this hearty brew.
Our journey doesn't stop there. We'll take you through the storied past of the Spaten-Franziskaner brewery, from its roots in 1867 to its pivotal moments like serving beer at Oktoberfest and its expansion to North America. Plus, you'll hear about a California company brewing beer with prehistoric yeast and get a taste of the unexpected as we explore viral internet sensations and the surprising success of the Florida Panthers in the NHL. Get ready for a dynamic blend of beer appreciation, cultural insights, and a dash of hockey talk!
