    New Belgium is coming to Florida in May, but it seems as if all of their sours are "draft only" or "rotating". Anyone know if they bottle anything sour and delicious?

    La Folie is bottled. Various other sours have appeared in the Lips of Faith series.

    They bottle several sours, although the best ones (Le Terrior, Eric's Ale) are few and far between.

    La Folie, they also used to bottle Le Terroir so you can probably look to trade for that.

    Thanks for the input.. Can't wait to be able to buy something other than Rodenbach, although they are always tasty.... and cheap.

    La Folie, Tart Lychee, Transatlantic Kriek, Love, Kick, & Le Terroir off the top of my head.

    If you ever see Love on draft... get it. I don't believe they've ever bottled it. One of the best sours I've ever had.

    Dude, you get a lot of sours there (I'm from Florida). Jolly Pumpkin is always in bottle shops when I visit as well as The Bruery (bought some Tart of Darkness last time I was there), and lots of belgians (Cantillon, 3F, etc...).

    You're in a better sour situation than Texas as is! :wink:

    Lol idk where you're picking up 3f and Cantillon but they don't distribute that here. I can find something from the Bruery every once in a while ( had a smoking wood a few weeks ago) but still kinda rare especially tart.. I'll look out for jolly pumpkin though never heard of them

    Total wine carries a bunch of sours. Recently a shipment of tilquin landed as well as lambicx, Petrus (both the Oude bruin and aged pale), monks cafe, lindemanns cuvée Rene, marriage parfait, fond tradition, timmermans, girarden, jolly pumpkin, and duchesse

    You're either shopping at the wrong places or live in the wrong part of Florida. I see The Bruery everywhere, and 3F and other lambics (no cantillon though) fairly often at certain shops here in Miami

    If your trying it because if the hype it will most likely end up being a flat tire

    The two to hope for are Eric's Ale and La Terroir. Those two beers might be the best two American sours I've ever had. La Folie is still excellent, too, although it can be a little pricey in some markets.
