From the BBC:
The Swede, then a 24-year-old merchant seaman, had plunged into the water in the middle of the night and broken an arm. He clung to a plastic rubbish sack for buoyancy in the rough waves.
So from savings built up from the import business, and a bank loan, the Bronsmans bought a former brewery in the the central Swedish town of Kopparberg for $620,000 in 1994.
At the time the facility was only being used to bottle water, but with Peter in the lead role as managing director, he and his brother started brewing a lager and then a range of ciders, including pear and mixed fruit-flavoured versions, under the Kopparberg name.
While the lager is now a bestseller in Sweden, it is the ciders that have enjoyed an export boom.
