We are a Uk local brewery producing approx 650 firkins per week we are looking for a trading relationship with a Scandanavian importer/pub group/brewery. WE do have pubs in our grup and could look for some reciprocal trade to the right partner We are sorry to hear about the demise of the ATNA brewery and can only sympathise.

But then again, it did seem that they had a one step up from the basic sort of policy. Hope this doesn't sound too unkind just now.

Seriously, there is a Nordic netwoork of small brewers. I don't know to what extent there is a coordination at the national level. The business models are very different, from brewpubs via regional or national distribution to the export driven activities of Nøgne ø and Haandbryggeriet. They are not vocal in the national press or on any political arenas.

Seems like in such a small and tightly-controlled market they could use something like this.
