Newly started distillery in Västerås is stopped from offering tasting of gin

The city of Västerås does not allow the newly started distillery to arrange a tasting of its own gin.

- Västerås can not be the only municipality that does right and all other mistakes, says Salar Azizi and refers to other municipalities saying yes in similar matters.

Lifts to politicians

Ulrika Wahlström, unit manager at the environmental and health protection administration, confirms for SVT Nyheter Västmanland that "there can certainly be different interpretations in different municipalities" and that "you need to look at this one more lap".

Therefore, the matter has been raised to a political level.

- If it comes to a point where we have no choice, we will need to move the business, says Salar Azizi.
