Bernstein, 06/18/09. "Located in Belgium’s southeastern French-speaking-region of Wallonia (where saison was first produced), this tiny brewery has attracted a cult following thanks to its subversive use of herbs and spices."〕 Owned and run by Dany Prignon, Fantôme is known for its unique variations on the Saison style of farmhouse ale,〔(TastingBeers.com ) International Focus article "Beer Country (Belgium)" by Charles D. Cook, Paragraph Publishing Ltd. Copyright 1999-2009〕 often involving the use of herbs, spices or fruit juice. Within the craft beer community, Fantome saisons are considered highly desirable and have developed a significant audience in the United States and United Kingdom. Ironically, while their complex, earthy, and herbal flavors have caused them to be sought out by connoisseurs outside of Belgium,〔() Oakland Tribune article "A Tale of Two Beers: Rochefort 10 and Fantome Saison" by William Brand. Article launched 09/09/2008."...absolutely tiny and famous only among beer geeks..."〕 Fantôme's products are difficult to find and not well known in the country of their origin. The name of the brewery stems from a legend of the nearby town of La Roche-en-Ardenne, which asserts that the ghost of the long-dead Countess Berthe de La Roche can still be seen walking amidst the ruins of the town's castle. There is a small bar adjacent to the brewery that is primarily open on weekends and for special occasions. Tours of the facility can be arranged by reservation as well. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fantôme Brewery」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
