Hannah’s 5 go-to places for top pints and good times:
1: Stigbergets Shangri-La & Stigberget’s Brewery, Ringön – Always a winner
“Shangri-La in the city centre is my happy place – cosy, friendly, and full of fantastic Stigbergets brews. But come summer? I’m at the brewery on Ringön – same great beer, unbeatable waterside views.”
