Lambic/ Gueze: Lindeman's Cuvee Renee OUd Beersel Oude Geuze and Oude Kreik Bruery Reuze (little tougher to find, but ive seen it a lot lately) Gose: Anderson valley (regular, briny melon or blood orange) leipziger Berliner weisse: Bruery Hottenroth Flanders Red: Duchesse de bourgogne Rodenbach Grand Cru There are many many more, but these should be pretty easy to find and are always good. look out for pretty much any allagash sour release, sometimes drie fonteinen pops up ( must buy, in my opinion), lost abbey releases etc.
Few off the top of my head: BFM Abbaye de St. Bon Chien De Dolle Oerbier Two Roads / Evil Twin Geyser Gose may still be around Bruery Oude Tart Bruery Tart of Darkness
LambickX Private Domain http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/22399/71976/ just had this, really nice blend of sour/funk
The better beer stores with in tune beer managers should have it. It doesn't come around too often and it's pricey though. I think I saw it at Wine and Beverage Depot in Totowa and Bottle King Morris Plains in the past.
If you are willing to cross into Rockland County, I just saw that one on the shelf at Cable Beverages last week. Plus a bunch of other stuff from Almanac, Trinity, Captain Lawrence, and more that we don't get in NJ.
It still pops up ocasionally. I guess not exactly legally then. I know fr a fact I bought a bottle of it last year
It happens... either from Belgium or another state. Not legal at all and if they get caught bye bye liquor license.
My suggestion is that you should drive to Wisconsin and bring back a deep load of beers from Funk Factory. We will put together a fund for gas etc.
Take a ride over to PA, I like Trenton Rd Takeout just over the border from Trenton actually. Stock up on as much Almanac as you can afford.
The best sours on tap are @ Tuckahoe Brewing Company in Egg Harbor Township. Sean Towers and Amanda Cardinali are brewing up some quality funk that is going to put NJ on the sour map!
They have it at Wegmans in ocean (on rte 35) and spirits unlimited on madison ave on the border of howell and lakewood. I cant remember seeing it anywhere else.
I've seen a lot of the free will sours in south jersey, always tempted but haven't pulled the trigger yet. Anyone tried these?
