Probably the most obviousis the government run stores called Systembolaget that are the only places in Sweden you can buy beer over 3.5%. Oli tells us how the laws impact brewing, what the beer industry does to work with Systembolaget, and gives us a overview of how the Swedish laws around beer work. http://www.stigbergetsbryggeri.se/ (Note: The voice you hear gegging in and asking the odd question during the podcast is Kaleigh of TheAleinKaleigh blog.) ------- ----------- www.beernomicon.com All our podcasts are now on Spotify.
