Getting there: start in the Old Town at Řetězová, about 5 minutes from Metro A Staroměstská. The route finishes at Ječná/Lípová, a few minutes from Metro C I. P. Pavlova and the Štěpánská tram stop.

Pivovar Národní to Craft House (about 850 m) is the longest leg: along Národní třída past Národní třída metro, then up Spálená and right into Navrátilova.

Optional detours: Pivovar U Tří růží (Husova 10) is about 130 m from U Kunštátů; U Fleků (Křemencova 11), the city's oldest brewery hall, is about 400 m from Pivovar Národní; Beer and Friends (Ve Smečkách 16) is about 330 m from Craft House.

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.
