American Wild Ales similar to Petit Mutant?

You've been to see the Alchemist and drank his potion, known as the Petit Mutant.

You are now chasing dragons.

 

Russian River and Almanac . . . you'll probably have to trade for them, though.

 

Russian River is one of the best. Also look into GI sours, as they are probably some of the most readily available American wilds. Also, check out Jolly Pumpkin if you can get that. Everything they do is sour, but nothing too tart or extreme.

 

The best in the US are Upland, Russian River, Almanac, and The Bruery. Find a bro to trade with who has a Hoarders membership to the Bruery and you'll have amazing sours whenever you need.

 

I can't speak to distribution, but here are a few US breweries that I have tried some great sours from (in no order):
Captain Lawrence
Crooked Stave
Boulevard
Russian River
Lost Abbey
Jester King
The Bruery
Jolly Pumpkin
New Glarus
Allagash
These are of course the children of the original sour/wild ales from Belgium, the lambics. That is another direction to start looking. Nice to see you have turned to the Tart Side.

 

Your wallet is screwed.

 

Crooked Stave, New Glarus, Russian River, Allagash. Those are my go-to breweries in the US if I want something wild and fruited, if you're interested in farmhouse/saison wilds then look no further than Hill Farmstead, Side Project, Jackie O's, and Prairie Artisan Ales. The US is making some really incredible funky sours right now, I can't believe how lucky I am to be able to experience it firsthand.

 

After reading the description, it appears he used cherries to brew this. That being said, these are some beers that might resemble it:

New Glarus - Belgian Red: This is not a sour, but rather a fruit beer. It's going to be sweeter, but it's awesome. Pretty easy to trade for. Heady Topper would get it done.
The Bruery - Oude Tart: This is probably my personal favorite cherry-forward sour. This is a "shelf" Bruery beer, so it gets to its distribution network. It should also be pretty easy to trade for.
The Bruery - Oude Tart w/ Cherries: Oude Tart with lots more cherries if you're really digging that cherry flavor. This is Reserve/Hoarders society only, but people shouldn't be asking too much in return for it.
Goose Island - Madame Rose: Goose Island doesn't get enough credit for their sours, and I think it's directly related to the fact their sours are widely distributed. Madame Rose 2014 should be hitting distribution here in not too long, so grab one of these.
Russian River - Supplication: This is also brewed with cherries, and it's one of their best. It's not available year-round I don't believe, but it's brewed far more frequently than Beatification, and Heady Topper would trade nicely for this as well.

There's obviously plenty others out here, but this is a pretty good list to start with.

 

Ommegang Wild at Heart is delicious:

So true! All 3 of Goose Island's "Three Sisters" beers are excellent (Madame Rose, Juliet, and Lolita).

 

I used to joke to John that Petit Mutant was our East Coast Supplication. Madame Rose is very similiar.

 

Rayon Vert for a cheap

 

from the description, i'd say lost abbey red poppy, but i haven't had petit mutant.

that said, if you don't mind the price, you should try red poppy anyway.

 

Its nothing like Red Poppy.

 

Don't waste your time trying to get any of the Russian River stuff into MA except through trading. They only ship to two places east of the west coast, Denver and Philly and since they seem to be brewing at capacity and still can't satisfy demand that isn't likely to change.

 

Trade for some crooked stave batch 60. Seriously.
