Is Fantome "back"?

[MrKennedy1]

Fantome on sale for $10, I tried to work out if these were old( smoky) bottles but the beer guy was convincing they were new- however he was not convincing on why the markdown......i risked $10 and will report back if I go buy a case or drainpour. I have money on a smoky drainpour- and a $10 refund.

It doesn't sound like there's too much risk involved if you get a $10 refund

Im completely lost reading this. You mean to tell me some bottle shops do refunds when they sell a bottle and it is a dud? Even though they are the middleman and have no fault in the matter? This blows my mind...how do you as the customer go about initiating that conversation?

 

[beeraroundtown1]

maybe since the clerk claimed the bottles were new he offered that return to assure him?

 

[cry me]

I'm generally not a Noel fan either but I had a 2008 a couple years ago that was mind blowing

Me too. It was way better than I expected it to be

My local beer guy gave me a new bottle after I told him the last one I bought came out of the bottle like shampoo. I had just mentioned it in conversation I wasn't even asking for anything as I assumed it was not their responsibility. A little customer service goes a long way!

I agree, I had a long conversation about Fantome and the issues over the past few batches and he offered up the potential refund as he was confident in what he was selling (still never got to why he had them on discount however.) It wasn't just some random shop I stopped at, I think simply having a semi-regular conversation with the people in the store and receiving good customer service kind of go hand in hand.

I think it's a common practice in the wine industry, if you get a corked bottle I think a lot of stores will refund/exchange it.

i'm checking this thread religiously to see if fantome chopes magically pop up

Update on the $10 bottle. Opened it tonight and enjoyed a wonderful Fantome Fountain in the kitchen, it was amazing. At least 12 inches sh

As soon as I took the cap off the cork blew, luckily it was over the sink. It was amazing to watch as the fountain erupted, Fantome all over the cupboard and it arched perfectly straight out the window. Wife was not impressed at all. I was left with maybe 6 oz of smoky bandaid beer, worse than I recall from the last bad bottle I had.

Lol you got your answer on why these were discounted! I once had an infected bottle (probably same batch) of regular saison. I popped the cap and saw that the cork was very slowly moving up on it's own. Like a total idiot I thought out loud "oh cool" and called my gf into the kitchen. As I took the cork out it exploded all over my face and soaked my tshirt and hair. I did salvage a glass and drank it quietly w said soaked hair and shirt

danyP is just looking to go after Brew Dog. Once he brews a beer with higher ABV he will get his own show too.

A TV series starring danyP would be the greatest reality show since "Fishing with John."

Anyone knows the botteling codes for fantomes? I have acces to some with the code: Lot B, Best Before Novembre 2016 . Also, is the new label only for the us market or is it for everyone?
