Brasserie Fantôme

Disfrute enormemente de esta parada, trato acogedor visita de la fabrica. Repetimos varias veces su cerveza, una pena que solo disponga de 2 cervezas y no tenga ningún tipo de suvenir. Pero aun así una gran visita.

Called in here on a weekday afternoon during a short road trip around Belgium on the off-chance we might be able to buy some bottles, and were very lucky to catch the owner before he had to leave somewhere! He said he was sorry he didn’t have any time to give us tastings as he had to leave, but he was so excitable to talk about his beers he couldn’t help quickly showing us around his brewing equipment, and then hurriedly gave us a free tasting of two beers on tap (Magic Ghost and Printemps, both tasting full of spicy flavour!). This is clearly a guy full of passion and genuinely humbled that we were interested in his beers. Please bear in mind he does not speak much English (my partner is French) but I doubt this would cause much of a problem. Just bear in mind this is a small operation in a dusty old shed adjacent to a tiny rustic old tavern in a village in the middle of nowhere, so it’s not geared up for visitors unless you’re lucky like us, but the bar seems to be open and busy weekend evenings. We picked up six 75cl bottles, priced 3 for 12 euros.

Can’t believe I haven’t rated this place before. Dany is a very friendly, modest guy. Don’t go out of your way to visit this place, but if your in the neighbourhood, it’s something you have to see for yourself ;)

Odd little café which was very hard to find. It has a very down-to-earth, authentic atmosphere. They only had two regulars on tap, but both were very good. They did have the Christmas beer in bottles too. Great place to go and see if you’re in the neighborhood (visited April 19, 2014)

à éviter, j’ai commander de la bière, on as fixer un rendez-vous et personne était la 40km pour rien

We dropped by late on a Monday afternoon and were lucky enough to sit down with Dany for a couple. We were given a tour of the very ramshackle brewery and tried the "Classique" and "Summer Beer" off tap and were sent on our way with another bottle of the "Classique" and Fantôme de Noël. Visiting the brewery is an exceptionally unique experience, even by Belgian standards. A must of any Belgian trip if you travel even remotely close to the brewery.
