Could be a PR stunt but this says the Finnish brewery,Tornion Panimo, says it’s already whipped up 1,000 bottles with roughly 33,000 bottles ready to ship out.
I guess our troops really get thirsty performing in Exercise Trident Juncture.
But while the brewery’s close proximity to the Rovaniemi Air Base an actual boon for thirsty air forces from around the world, delivering “thirst aid” to personnel based elsewhere may prove tricky.
Norway may be the host country for Trident Juncture, but it is not a European Union member state, which will pose a “small logistical problem with the Norwegian customs authorities concerning the fast delivery of the beer to the exercise troops,” Pönkänen said.
“I actually had one beer export contact in Norway before, and I have a wide network of friends,” Kostiander told NewsNowFinland of delivery plans. “I messaged to them immediately, and I got more contacts, and trying to find out how to quickly get the beer to Norway.”
