Munich’s Oktoberfest kicks off September 20, but your party doesn’t have to look like a college tailgate. Pretzel necklaces? Plastic cups? We can do better.

Fresh off earning his master brewer certification, Alvarado Street Brewery’s J.C. Hill shares his playbook for an elevated Oktoberfest: brat + märzen pairings, snack boards that put basic charcuterie to shame and why you should always clink steins at the bottom, not the rim. Oh, and don’t forget to drop “Wiesn” like a local.

You’ve got the beer. We’ve got the blueprint.
