It has been confirmed in 2025 by Stene Isacsson (owner of Akkurat) through a text sent to Jean Van Roy<ref name=LambicInfoConvo>Lambic.Info Interview with Jean Van Roy, February 2025</ref> that the beer was actually sold through a peculiar system. Indeed, a friend of his working at Systembolaget offered to help with the sale, people would pay Akkurat for the bottle and they could pick it up in the Systembolaget he was working at (and only there). That person ended up being actually fired as it wasn't done officially, which created a local scandal at the time. GIven the context, it is plausible that the bottles found with Italian import labels were shipped by this person using the Systembolaget network. | |||
