You use “who” or “whom” for the subject or object, respectively. In this case, “who I highly doubt speaks fluent German” is a separate clause in which “who” (referring to “dude”) is the subject and “German” is the object.

Ahh, so you’re saying that the “some dude” is the WHO doing WHAT (speaking fluent german) to WHOM (the rest of us) in this scenario?

All you have to do is substitute “him” or “her” for “whom” and see if the sentence still makes sense.

Wait, really? The rules we were always taught were “WHO does WHAT to WHOM”. So if “Some lady” is the WHO doing the Doubting (the “What”) to the “dude above” would be the “whom”, no?

Actual biergartens in Germany aren’t particularly diverse either.
