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.”

2: Vega Bryggeri – For the curious pint explorer

“While you’re already on Ringön, swing by Vega. Bold, experimental, flavour-packed beers – always with a creative, personal twist. You never know what you’ll discover.”

3: Ivans pilsnerbar – Laid-back charm in a glass

“Also on Ringön – a tiny hidden gem that feels like a secret club for pilsner lovers. No frills, just good vibes and fun things on tap.”

4: Haket – Gothenburg’s beer heart

“Haket is a local legend. A long beer list, relaxed atmosphere, and a place where everyone feels welcome – whether you’re a beer nerd or just thirsty.”

5: Brewers Beer Bar & Ölstugan Tullen – Two classics you can always count on

“Brewers = craft beer meets sourdough pizza = yes please. And if you’re ever unsure where to go, just head to an Ölstugan Tullen. They’re everywhere, and they’re just as much a community hub as a pub.”
