New 30th anniversary Fantome shirts on etre as well as a new collab brew “ghost in the kettle” which appears to be quite limited as there is only 3 cases inventory and 1 bottle limit

This was a nice surprise. Had been waiting on the shirts to toss in a box that I had waiting; "30 ans" beer on top of "30 ans" shirts ftw.

My guess is only limited as coming to USA, since it’s a St Somewhere collab

I'd like to see a Fantôme collab with a lambic brewer/blender danyP

I should bring you a bottle of my wedding blend that Raf did then.

I think this is my last pink label pissenlit from 2000.
Expectations were pretty low here as it was capped only with no cork and the cap had started to rust. Anyway, expectations greatly intensified when the cap hissed and bubbles came out of solution.

Pretty perfect representation of what I expect/want in an 18 year old bottle of Fantome. Unmistakeable house brett/funkiness that I never detect in anything other than old Fantomes....such mystery, mucho enjoyment. Caramel malt sweetness with a fall foliage aspect intertwined. Taste is somewhat cidery with a vanilla sweetness and finishes super tart like cranberry meets currants.

I assume this has been mentioned, and I missed it?

I saw this and figured someone stole the ghost, was surprised to see it was a 4 way collab. I assume the Fantome contribution was limited?

Could be wrong but if I understand the story correctly the brews were a collaboration in the sense that the brewers all agreed on a general theme/recipe and brewed it all at their respective places. The actual Fantome one I think was brewed with some of them in attendance.

The Fantome one went on sale this past week on etre and was pretty limited with 1 bottle person. Assuming the majority of it is coming stateside.

Edit: yep, heres the copy pasta from facespace

“I wake up this morning to a message from a friend “On way !” and a photo of a boil in a brew kettle. I’m thinking "Dany has got Ghost in the Kettle, in THE kettle.” I was reminded how the name for this collaboration beer was decided. The story is sentimental, yes – and it is also sincere. So bear with me.
Collaborating the concept for the recipe was not difficult. The foundation was an award winning citrus focused Saison I had designed that was released commercially in 2013. I tweaked in improvements, and made changes so the spices would be complimentary to the unique profiles of the beers from Brasserie fantome and Brasserie Saint Somewhere, and the wild yeast used by Barley Forge Brewing Co.. Each brewer would then take the baseline recipe, change it to suit their style, and brew their own version. Recipe done.
The name was more confounding. Ideas were passed back and forth in email. Nothing was sticking, and I thought, what is the motivation for this collaboration? I passed a name idea to the other brewers leaving Dany out. I believe every brewer who loves Saison has some recollection about the first time they had a Fantôme – maybe “Oh my god!”, maybe “What the heck?”. But there’s something about a “Tome” that is unique and old world, and undeniably “Saison”.
I’d like to think that every time a brewer who really loves classic Saison fires up a kettle to brew this wonderful style – well, there’s a little inspiration from Brasserie Fantôme in their brew day. The other brewers answered, “I definitely find inspiration in Fantôme for my will to be weird.”, “There would be no Saint Somewhere if not for Fantôme.”, and a similar sentiment from an owner at Barley Forge. When I told Dany the idea for the name, he replied something like “Too much Daniel”. But he didn’t fight it.
So then, why the name “Ghost in the Kettle”? Well, because every time we fire up a kettle to boil a Saison, there’s a bit of the spirit of the ghost (Fantôme) in it.
Santé!”

2014 Magic Ghost with my new Chope

 

[Pneill3161]

Doing some tome damage tonight, soloing all 3. Best part was after the second I asked my 5yr old what to drink next, without hesitation he said the one with the ghost, that’s a good boy.

 

[PrideoftheSouth]

My brother came up with this bottle this weekend, and told me he’d bring me a bottle as well, as he knows I love Fantome.
Could you tell me what this is, danyP? Is this a unique beer, or a labelled version of an already existing brew?

 

[Pneill3161]

Perfect beer for tonight, GRDave where you at?

 

[nachojon]

I know I know, I was slacking. Intentions were there, but got stuck with candy distribution duties and opened other random beers that were within easy reach. Poor planning and execution, throughout.

On a lighter note, found a honey hole of Desert Ghost today. 9 bottles, $17ea. If anyone wants some for C+S, lemme know.
