    Every so often I get a craving for a certain style or type of beer, as I think every BA does. Right now I'm drinking sours(again) and loving it. So I was wondering what were some of your top sours. Any type of sour, just sours in general here's my Top10....
    1. The Wanderer (Bruery)
    2. Sour in the Rye w/peaches (Bruery)
    3. Track #5 (Lost Abbey)
    4. Framboise De Amorosa (Lost Abbey)
    5. Duck Duck Gooze (Lost Abbey)
    6. Consecration (Russian River)
    7. Supplication (Russian River)
    8. Cuvee De Tomme (Lost Abbey)
    9. Confession (Bruery)
    10. Juliet (Goose Island)
    That was really hard to do, looks like I need more bomb East coast sours I'm kinda one sided. This is what sours I liked best not what really is the best so don't hate me for it haha

    Or I'd like to hear some suggestions on what else I need to get...

    Ithaca Lebleu and GI Juliet are my favorite american made sours. Import wise anything from Cantillon, 3F, Rodenbach Gran Cru, and Hanssen's, specifically Scarenbecca Kriek.

    You can't do a top sour list without Jolly Pumpkin. La Roja and Biere de Mars are two of the best sours ever.

    Don't forget Jolly Pumpkin Sobrehumano, that beer is awesome! I also have a soft spot for My Blueberry Nightmare.

    Sobrehumano was awesome! Better than the Maui canned version. I have two left. I believe Sobrehumano Grand Reserve is being released soon. I can't wait!
