Here's something I found on Google. Looks like Scandinavia is the only
place to get it now, but perhaps next year in the States.

Pommac to be the product of 2003?
21/1/2003
Pommac, the Swedish soft drink brand, has been around for more than 80
years, but interest in the product shows no sign of flagging. In fact,
according to the fashion magazine Wallpaper, which has included it in
its annual list of favourite products.
Pommac dates back to 1919 and is manufactured to the original recipe and
stored in oak barrels for three months before being bottled. Pommac is a
truly Nordic brand, with the raw material for the drink manufactured and
stored at the Swedish plant owned by Danish ingredients group Danisco,
and the finished beverage produced at the Carlsberg brewery in Sweden
and the Hartwall brewery in Finland.
It was the Swedish pharmacist Anders Lindahl who created the recipe for
Pommac in 1919. The beverage was regarded as sophisticated because it
contained more than 25 different flavours from fruits and berries. The
name was inspired by the Champagne brand Pommery and by Cognac, which
were accordingly combined to make Pommac.
Pommac differs from other carbonated drinks because of the fact that the
raw material is stored in oak barrels for at least three months before
While widely known in the Nordic region, Pommac has a relatively small
following outside the region, although joint venture with Dr Pepper in
the 1960s means that there is still a large number of American consumers
who remember the brand with fondness.
But with Wallpaper giving it the thumbs up, the increasing
internationalisation of both Hartwall and Carlsberg, and the constant
consumer demand for products other than the ubiquitous colas, maybe 2003
will the year when the world at large gets to know more about the apple
and grape flavoured drink.
