This is a couple weeks old, but didn't get a chance to post it, and its actually two hauls that happened a couple days apart:
The one I'm most excited about is the Fantome, picking up all the non-New Glarus stuff at Total Wine we are at the checkout and I hear my wife behind say, "Fantome?" My ears perked up and I said, "What did you say?"
They only had a couple bottles and I asked the person at checkout why they weren't on the shelf? She said that when they only have a few bottles left of something they are not getting more of they put them up at checkout. So for all you Total wine beer buyers, be sure to look around the checkout area
Fantome is a very small Belgian brewery that you almost never see here in the states (unless you're lucky). They don't really brew to any certain style, most are considered Saisons/Farmhouse Ales, but their beers are all very very unique.
The best part though, as a homebrewer, is the yeast at the bottom of the bottle. It will be harvested to brew my own saison.
