Founder of Oppigards brewery shortlisted for Entrepreneur of the Year award

Björn Falkeström’s secret wish was granted. He did not receive the award for Entrepreneur of the Year by the Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet (see our report in Brauwelt INTERNATIONAL 2/2015).

But from the original ten nominees, he was shortlisted among the final five. On 11 May 2015 the winner was announced: the award went to the founders of Spotify, Daniel Ek and Martin Lorentzon.

We still think that Björn’s nomination was a big achievement for Sweden’s craft brewers and say “Cheers” to Björn.
