    Does anybody have info on the distribution scheme for 5 Sciences? Will it see wide distribution through Shelton Bros or will it be like La Vermontoise, where it will only be available in the NE?

    Cheers,
    Nate

    I'm not sure of the answer, but La Vermontoise hit distribution and has showed up on the shelves in NorCal at the least.

    A limited amount of La Vermontoise will hit Indiana soon.

    The Fantome collab was delayed for retail at Hill Farmstead until bottles re-condition properly. Not sure if Shelton might delay distribution for it for similar reasons.

    Both available in KY now if you know the "right" people and places to go

    Do you have any more info on this? I bought a bottle at HF on April 10th, opened it tonight, and it is straight up flat. Mead flat.

    Did it also taste like ham? If so, you had the best that it will probably ever be.

    Sort of like peat, over-ripe peach, and black tea. And just straight up flat. No bubbles at all. It's a shame.

    For the first batch, the ones without the "white sticker" the bottles were placed in extremely cold conditions after bottling in Soy and the yeast died off/went inert. The vast majority of the batch 1 bottles will be flat and will no improve with time.

    A second batch was made by Fantome in the absence of fHF and is marked with a white sticker, the carb on these allegedly improved.

    Batch 2 (with sticker) hit NorCal a few days ago, with it being pretty limited I imagine

    My bottle had the white sticker and was completely flat. But based on the initial reviews I was expecting that. Glad I got to try it.
