Hello jimmy
Systembolaget has been good to work with despite the inherent inefficiencies in a state monopoly. They seem to be interested in our specialty beers in particular, which is more than most state monopolies understand. Unfortunately, since they plan so far ahead, they leave themselves no room to respond to demand, so shortages occur.
Carlsberg, which has been instrumental in our efforts with Systembolaget, have many exciting new projects for our brand, including bringing Lager and Brown on draft. However, they have less control of the off-premise, obviously, but with tenders in to Systembolaget for Local 1, Oktoberfest and Winter Ale, let's hope for the best. We are doing what we can to get our beer to you, thanks for your enthusiastic support, its very gratifying. And if you are ever in NYC, please come visit us.
Cheers,
Robin
