Does anybody really LOVE sours?

I'd drink them all the time if they weren't so expensive. A 6pack of Westbrook Gose is the closest I can get to sessioning some sour beer.

 

I love them. Probably my 2nd favorite style.

I don't "crave" them, per se..

 

Sours are one of my least favorite styles.

 

Yes

 

Just look through the Top 250.

Yes, people really love sours.

 

I'll pass on a sour. I would rather have a mixed drink like rum and coke first

 

A great sour is like a dry-aged prime cut of beef. I don't do it every day. But when I do, I usually think it's one of the best things I've ever tasted.

 

Have to say it, sour is not a style. Several styles are sour, but that adjective is not a style.

And to answer the questions, I don't crave sour beer frequently, but I love them when I do.

 

Favorites , I'll go both ends of the spectrum. Either a Scottish ale if I'm feeling malty, or ipa if I'm feeling hoppy. Harder to find a Scottish unless I make it myself. IPAs take up half the cooler anymore.

 

I only have had one sour and I realy realy liked it. Love is a strong word so I am not gonna say love, although I was sad when it was gone.

 

If you lived in the Northwest you would see the obsession for sours. Especially Oregon. DeGarde, Cascade, Crux, Logsden offerings for a start.
Dan says it better than me.

 

Sounds like the most interesting man in the world,lol

 

Boy have I tried to like sours but my palate just won't cave in to them. Kind of like the offal of the craft beer world. In my opinion.

 

Since I have rated over 600 different kinds of sour beers, I would say they are pretty chill.

 

I've never really had a first rate sour at least as far as I know. I hate Gose, hate some tarts, but kinda liked some of the New Glarus fruits. Maybe I should break down for a Cascade, they're everywhere, and give it a shot. Have a Bootsie but it's going to Ohio.

 

This is what we drank last night so yeah I'd say we take sours pretty seriously

 

Yes, so much so that they have almost wrecked some other styles for me, and certainly dented the pocket book searching out some of the best ones the world has to offer.

 

Really dislike them.

 

I really enjoy dark sours. Try this one @AdmiralOzone. Sour Imperial Stout.
