There are about nine house taps (IPAs, stouts, red ales), and the food runs to francesinha, bifanas, cachorrinhos and burgers. Google lists Monday to Friday 5pm to midnight and Saturday and Sunday 1pm to midnight. [Open in Google Maps](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=A%20F%C3%A1brica%20da%20Picaria%2C%20Rua%20da%20Picaria%2072%2C%204050-477%20Porto) Getting there: start on Praça de Carlos Alberto, a few minutes from the Clérigos tower and about 10 minutes uphill from São Bento station. The route finishes on Rua da Picaria, 5 minutes from Avenida dos Aliados. Gulden Draak to Catraio (about 500 m, along Rua de José Falcão and up Rua de Cedofeita) is the longest leg. The rest are 150-360 m, and Baobab and Fábrica da Picaria are almost next door to each other. Gulden Draak is a Belgian beer house rather than an independent craft bar. Skip it if you only want Portuguese craft, and go straight from Carmo to Catraio (about 400 m). Food: Fábrica da Picaria (francesinha, bifanas) and Letraria (petiscos) are the proper food stops. Carmo does toasties and boards, and Baobab does tins and cheese. Rua de Cedofeita is pedestrianised and gentle. Rua do Almada and the streets round Carmo slope, but none of it is steep by Porto standards. **Alcohol-free and pacing:** ask at the bar for alcohol-free beers and soft drinks, and remember a half is always fine. Eat along the way, drink water between stops, and skip a stop whenever you like. [More tips](https://thecraftbeercrawl.com/responsible-drinking/).
