    It was the first kind of sour beer I liked and I still like them more than most do (according to the rankings). I've had Prairie Hop, Provisions & Traditions, Noble King, El Cedro, Dorothy, and my favorite so far has been Funke Hop Farm. I'm sure there's plenty more that I don't know of. Recommend me some to keep an eye out for in trade.

    New Belgium's Le Terroir is a fantastic dry-hopped sour and readily accessible.

    Invasion IPA by Achorage/Mikkeller was very similar to Funke Hop Farm. Also Funky Gold Mosaic and Amarillo were both similar.

    As mentioned above Prairie Funky Gold Amarillo is great as are Progenitor from Crooked Stave and Red Swingline from Trinity. I enjoyed Atomic Kangarue from The Bruery too.

    If you're ever in the northeast I would recommend Oxbow's Grissete. Technically not a sour, but neither are most of these. Just about anything from CStave is delicious.

    Anchorage as stated above really enjoys doing these hoppy borderline-sours. They are really heavy on the brett end. Would recommend "Tide and It's Takers" if that's what floats your boat.

    I'm a bit confused, as there are several on your list, OP, that I wouldn't qualify as sour. Prairie Hop and Dorothy are the two that stand out.

    That said, Le Terroir is the gold standard for my money. The Prairie Funky Gold beers are good too, although I personally preferred the Mosaic.

    In terms of beers that haven't been mentioned:

    Almanac Devil's Advocate
    To Øl Sur Amarillo
    Pizza Boy Eternal Sunshine
    de Garde Hop Bu (I know, probably not easy to get, but people should dry-hop Berliner Weisse beers more often)

    Absolutely loved the first batch of Casey Dry Hopped Oak Theory. I believe it was Simcoe and Galaxy. Sublime.

    Eh, loose definition of sour. Sour-like is close enough. And I guess since I put those in there, I should say I liked Wytchmaker and Christus Yeastus too. They're kind of similar.

    Crooked Stave Progenitor and Progenitor Noir. Also, it's been a while but I remember CS Hop Savant being at least slightly tart as well.
