Ølgod and Kælderkold share a brewery (Ølgod Beer Lab), so their beers are different from the other bars on this route but similar to each other. If you want to cut a stop, choose one of them.

If you're starting early, start at Kælderkold instead. It opens at about 11:30am every day, so you can do the route in reverse from there.

Barna Brew Born is the longest leg (about 1.1 km) through the Gòtic and El Born, and its days vary, so check it before relying on it as your last stop.
