399: Sweden Embraces Non Alcoholic Ciders at Pomologik

The Low ABV Cider Revolution in Sweden

In Strängnäs Sweden, circa 2017, Johan Sjöstedt, Oskar Palm, and Patrik Svensk began selling ciders commercially under their brand Pomologik. They didn’t set out to make low alcohol cider nor even non alcoholic cider when they started, but a lot can change in a few short years.
