    Yes, and with ease. The only reason I don't do it more often is the average price tag of 750s. As far as heartburn is concerned, I really only get heartburn from spirits and 10+ domestic beers.

    I used to kill them solo and have no problem in doing so. I'd much rather share them. Yesterday was a prime example as many bottles of sours were open for Zwanze Day alongside a bag of Tums...lol.

    Yes, Rodenbach a few times and a few others I can't remember off the top of my head.

    Yeah, I drank 2 3 Sheeps raspberry sours, 1 Jester King Nocturn, and a orange and tangerine Provenence in one sitting.

    Threw down a Deschutes The Dissident myself one night. I was brewing up a batch of beer, sent out at least 5 texts to friends to see if they wanted to come over and enjoy the bomber while I brewed and did all the work. I just wanted to share it.

    No one took the offer so I drank it myself and rubbed it in their face. Mind you I also sipped that sucker over a 3-4 hour period.

    I don't think I could. I am new to sours and 10 oz did a number on my stomach. This was La Folie so a pretty intense sour. This will sound like a joke but isn't. I don't think the 2 hr tasting frenzy with the sours at the end had anything to do with it. I could be convinced otherwise though. I am not immune (translated...old) to heartburn. Tums are my friend. My biggest problem was just a sour stomach even with the tums. I know it sounds like captain obvious to have a sour stomach after drinking sours. I love sours and will continue to drink them. I figure 3 minimum on a bomber.

    I've seen that one, but I haven't pulled the trigger on it. It has a lot to do with my distaste of New Holland, but I may still give it a shot.

    They did this beer right if you are worried about taste. If it was made by New Glarus, it would be gone before you had a chance to blink.

    You convinced me. I'll give it a shot. Heck, I'll post it on next week's NBS.

    All the time. Totally enjoyed an entire bottle of Oude Tart for my birthday last night.

    Drank a whole 750 of Weyerbacher Riserva practically by myself (my gf had a few sips but didn't really like it). It took me about an hour and a half and was a bit tough near the end. In the future, if I open a sour big bottle, what I'll do is pour myself a small glass, put a bottle stopper in it, have some other beers in between and then finish it off at the end of the night.
