Fantôme

Anyone try the Fantôme / Cellar West Silos collab Summits yet? Curious on thoughts & tasting notes.
Was there any yeast from Cellar West added to the brew? I forget what all Cellar West brought to the table in this collab (I'm assuming it was made known since now the new brewers publish all the details).

Per Dany’s fb sounds like just a yeast culture:

This past Friday Brewing Collab ' with Zachary Nichols from cellar West Artisan Ales Colorado... https://www.facebook.com/cellarwest/ and Didier Cornet... result to follow.... use of Zachary's own culture... seems a good Plan!...

Someone should really keep this guy away from the kettles

I had a long-ish post in the Fantome Facebook thingy the other day talking about how bad Fantome has been for the past two years or so. Initially, I alluded to the fact that Fantome's recent downturn corresponds relatively closely with this guy starting to help out. I thought better of saying that outright, so I cleaned it up a bit. But...

People that drank Tomes didn't want NEIPA or Huge Stouts. We also don't need to know the ingredients or that many details. That was part of the fun! But with all these new styles they are "exploring," posting too much info on the Facebook page, and the general awfulness of the beers over the past two years, you can count me out for the time being.

Really hope that magic can be found again.
 
I’ve never been more happier in my life than I was yesterday walking into a beer store in Chicago, walking right past cases of $20 NEIPAs to a shelf with Blanchot and Cocoa Ambree bottles. Absolutely in love with the recent ‘Tome drop here in Chicago. I haven’t seen bottles on a shelf in YEARS!

Ask Dan when he's tapping his Hiver.

ISO personal kegs for home consumption.

Call your local liquor store to request SB stuff for your Kegerator and have them reach out to me. 'Tome's are (mostly) gone but other stuff will be available, usually.

I guess I can drink at Mike’s house but only if he promises to wear short sleeves all winter.

I am wearing short sleeves right now, so i approve.

No offense but you don’t have Mike’s arms. And don’t think I won’t ask Dan about that keg. 🤣
