The brewery occupies a modest stone farmhouse on the main road through the village of Soy in the Marche-en-Famenne district of Luxembourg province
Founded in 1988, Brasserie Fantôme has gained international attention[2] and a cult following among lovers of craft beers.[3]Owned and run by Dany Prignon, Fantôme is known for its unique variations on the Saisonstyle of farmhouse ale,[4] 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 Belgium,[5] 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.
