    Just wondering if anyone has recommendations on non traditional Gose beers, I have tried many traditional ones which are good but not great. I'm in NC and live right across the border from SC, and have access to Westbrook Gose which I find myself comparing all others to this non traditional Gose. Anderson Valley is my second favorite one and feel they did an awesome job on their Gose, let me know if you can recommend any other ones, thanks!

    About to try one form a brewery called Off Color and the name of the gose is Troublesome. I have not had it yet but it's out there.

    If you're taking a trip to the Boston area anytime soon, Night Shift has a draft-only gose brewed with Island Creek oysters in place of salt, and its pretty fantastic. I've heard rumor they're bottling it soon, so you may be lucky enough to be able to trade for it.

    Would be interested to find out which traditional Gose(s) you have tried? I think I have had one that claims it, Ritterguts? I don't think there are too many, at least that is what I have read.

    That said my favorite Gose I have tried, and I will leave it to others to decide if it's traditional or not, is by Lost Nation in Vermont. Bottles and growlers can be obtained by trade pretty easily I would guess with your fantastic local NC stuff.

    Gose Gone Wild. It's a collab between Stillwater and Westbrook and it is amazing. And definitely non-traditional.

    Come to Tampa FL area and hit Rapp Brewing Company for their Gose. That is my benchmark and has yet to be beaten

    I'll be in MPLS in a couple of weeks. Where can I find this in town? I'm a sucker for goses.

    I agree, this beer was excelente.

    Also, I love the AV gose. I'll take that over Westbrook's. I'm on a mission to try all the others mentioned in this post.

    I'm no Gose expert but I enjoyed the Real Ale Gose. It has a nice amount of lime flavor I really enjoyed.
