Stockholm, Sweden. That’s where we live. And Sweden is a bit different when it comes to alcoholic beverages. Alcohol sales are run by the state and the only place to buy it is at stores called “Systembolaget” (translates to “The System Company”, is has a nice Big Brother 1984 kind of ring to it, doesn’t it?). Another option is that you go to a pub or a restaurant.

We happen to be living in the town with one of the best beer pubs in the world: Akkurat! We don’t work there, we pay for all the beers ourselves, and we do think you should check it out when you’re around.
