    Hi there! I am new to the site here, my first post!

    I am curious as to what you all might be able to reccomend as far as good sours around Washington. I recently traveled down to California and made a stop at Russian River, where I was instantly hooked on their delicious sours.

    RR isn't available for purchase here in WA, so I ask you, what are some other sours to put at the top of my "to try" list? Any brewed in the state would be great, but if there are some out-of-state that are available here, please list those as well!

    Thanks!

    Not bad at all! I have heard about the Cascade sours, my buddy just bought one today actually... hopefully, he swings by and shares it with me. Also while I was there, I got a St. Bernardus ABT 12. I heard that's got some sour qualities, so I'm excited for that as well.

    Any bars around that you could recommend that have sours on tap?

    That's because he works out of a workshop, cash only unless he knows you, and is pretty much illegal as shit. I'm pretty sure he isn't licensed for anything. Last I was there I was asking him details of his place to put it on BA and as i was questioning him at the "bar", he had a "you better not fucking give me up" tone to his voice and conversation. I don't know what he is so paranoid about, the Feds can't touch him on the rez to the best of my knowledge. Looking for the place is easy, it's not far off of 97, I wanna say by Toppenish (but don't quote me, it's been a while). Just stop by the gas station with the firework single wide and ask, they know the dude.

    I really wish I knew about Red Peak when I was going to graduate school in Ellensburg. [sigh]

    At least I know now.

    Anyone know where to get Rodenbach Grand Cru bottles? It's not at the downtown shops I've seen, might look at total wine or something.
