    I love saisons, and have been wanting to try this one for a while. Does it ever hit shelves around here? I was thinking about trading for it, but realized I might be overlooking some right under my nose.

    I've seen some of the other Fantome beers around, but never the regular Saison. Anyone got any info?

    Side note for those who've made it this far. Has anyone been to Hudson to see if they have NG Enigma? Heading through there this weekend on my way to Dave's BrewFarm, and hoping I'll get lucky.

    Enigma was all over Hudson on Sunday, should be around unless there's been a mad rush in the last 3 days.

    Unless you get lucky and find some bottles laying around from shipments from a long time ago, Fantome's regular saison is not in the Minnesota market right now. We have not seen a shipment of it offered for well over a year.

    Need to get me some Enigma.

    The original Fantome Saison is hands down my favorite beer. It does pop up every now and then in the Minneapolis area. Keep your eyes open at some of the better liquor stores in the second and third tier suburbs, those are going to most likely be the places that still have it.

    I've had more luck finding fantome in Sioux Falls than MN. Looking forward to busting out my saison, hiver and strange ghost around Thanksgiving.

    I can never remember the name of the place, but it's in an old gas station. A very bizarre sight.
