Categories
Every brewery has a few fixed categories. First Bryggeri which is Brewery in Swedish. Then come two geographical categories: Landskap and Kommun. Kommun is the city/municipality where the brewery is located. There are 290 kommuner (municipalities) in Sweden. Landskap is an old geographical word for region. It's still in use but nowadays mostly lacks any practical function. The Landskap is old and its borders can be traced back more than 500 years. There are 25 Landskap in Sweden.
If you are following the link for the category you come to a list of all breweries or companies in that region.
When it comes to drinks coasters the category will be Beverage and there are also some categories concerning various companies.
