There’s more to the Swedish capital than its good looks. For proof, look south to Sodermalm, a large inner-city island humming with creativity. “There are more fun and innovative and exciting and heartfelt things going on in Sodermalm than anywhere else in Stockholm,” said the craft brewer Henok Fentie, a Stockholm native and co-founder of…
