    Gueuze Tilquin.

    Abbaye de Saint Bon-Chien.

    Jolly Pumpkin Fuego del Otono. Oro de Calabaza is also pretty tasty.

    Crooked Stave puts out some darn good stuff, too. Surette is delicious.

    Pretty much all the Goses and Berliner Weisse's I've had would come after that list. I love them but they don't stand out because of their sublety - which is one of the things I love most about them. (Side note: I just checked and never would have guessed I've had 18 different Goses or 14 different Berliners...proof I really do like the styles!)

    Most of the sour beers I've had from Bullfrog have been fantastic, and unusual as well.

    Even though it's kettle soured (THE HORROR), Union's 3rd Stone apricot sour was jawdroppingly good.

    I've only had one kvass, but it was lacto-fermented and tasted like straight up pickle juice. Any particular reason you wouldn't consider them sour?

    LOVE Grimm Telekinesis and Psychokinesis. Also really enjoyed Grimm Super Going and Echoplex. Purple Prose was great too! Enjoyed Rainbow Dome too.

    Unless the OP is requesting a specific process, anything overly tart should likely count.

    Boulevard Saison Brett must be mentioned but some great new comers are:
    Lake Effect Oud Bruin
    Penrose BA Outlier
    Penrose Wild 18
    Mikerphone Travelin' Man

    In summary, Chicago's wild ale game is on point

    Kvass is sweet, not sour. And it's not beer. http://russiapedia.rt.com/of-russian-origin/kvas/

    I would hesitate to refer to Saison-Brett as sour. We inoculate with brettanomyces at bottling/racking which results in more earthy/funky flavor. I think if someone orders Saison-Brett expecting it to be sour, they're going to be very disappointed.

    Haven't ventured deeply into the world of sours.
    Allagash Resurgum, Allagash Golden Brett and Petrus Old Ale are my fav so far
