    So I just started getting into sours, I've only had a couple but have loved both. The only title I remember was Duchesse de Burgande (spelling is probably off a little).

    But I was wondering if there are any sours that come in a six pack? On my budget it is difficult buying only bombers, especially when trying to experience more of the style.

    If not, any recommendation on good sours that can introduce me to the style better?

    That would cost roughly 1 billion dollars.

    New Glarus' Wild Ale came in 4-packs - hope you got the chance to snag some.

    The two that come time mind off the top of my head that come in 12oz bottles...although they are in 4-packs, not 6-packs are Cuvee de Jacobins Rouge and Monk's Cafe. I know there's a Sour Power Sampler 6-pack that floats around in some markets that includes some of the Petrus beers and Monk's Cafe.

    I think that you can also find Rodenbach classic in a 4-pack 11.2oz bottle format in some markets as well.

    Unfortunately sours in my experience are usually sold as singles in either 750ml, 500ml, or 375ml format. I have seen Petrus Old Bruin in 4packs, but the much better Aged Pale is only in singles around here. Though it doesn't matter in that case as the bottles are end up being about $3.99ea regardless of bought individually or not.

    Long story short, no I don't believe there are many (or any) sours available is six packs. In terms of good ones to try I'd say Petrus Aged Pale and Lindemans Cuvee Renee Gueze are good jumping off points.

    If your budget makes it hard for you to buy bombers, it'll make it really hard for you to buy sours.

    If you can handle salt, Westbrook Gose is available in 6-pack cans.

    The best sour I've found in a pack is cuvée des jacobins rouge. It comes in a four pack usually between 19 and 21 dollars.

    Jacobins and Duchesse I have seen both in four packs.

    If you're into Berliners then you have DFH Festina Peche is in 4-packs, Bell's Oarsman in 12 oz (not sure if 4 or 6).

    Yeah, Duchesse de Borgogne did fourzies, but I can't remember the last time I saw one. This beer seemed to be everywhere like 6 years ago and it just seemed to fall off the map.

    They had the Sour Power 6 packs at my local Wegmans in southeastern PA not too long ago, but it was retailing for $24. I wasn't about to shell out that kind of money for 2 Monks, 2 Petrus Pales and 2 Petrus Bruins. Good beers, but I could find a much better sour selection at a Whole Foods.
