So what's stopping you, now that you're retired?
Hop on an airplane to Europe and just do it.

It looks like one can get tickets for ~US$100 each for next Saturday's 
match in Mainz, Germany ... and maybe look up Peter Kohlman to do a 
meet-up if you care to do that too:

And a midweek flight from Charleston to Frankfurt (5/8-11) starts at 
$612/pp-RT ... not bad for short notice and early summer:

Mainz is just a half hour from Frankfurt - invariably easy/cheap to do 
on a local train, even if one chooses to stay in Frankfurt and do as a 
daytrip.

Because a genuine German beer on tap in Germany isn't a "good" brew?  /s
Bonus: take a grandkid if they're old enough to remember the experience.
