Favorite Sours?

I've only had Jolly Pumpkin beers so far in my sour experience but I've loved each and every one. La Roja is incredible!! I have a sour in the Rye that I'm very excited to try this year.

 

Any chance of a canyoupickmeuponebro? :-)

 

Bruery Oude Tart
Jolly Pumpkin La Roja
Weyerbacher Riserva
Cascade Apricot and Kriek
Russian River Consecration

 

Relative to other styles I havent really dove too deep into them

My Favs

Brute
Peche N Brett
Beatification
Fou Foune
Funky Buddha Passion fruit Berliner

 

The correct answer to that question is Armand Zomer

 

And, I do.

 

About time Brute was mentioned.

 

I'm a sucker for De Cam and Cascade.

 

I've just started this adventure on sours and don't have that many under my belt. Here are my favorites, in order (from the ones I can remember):

Consecration
Sour in the Rye
Petrus Pale
Cascade Black Cap Raspberry
Supplication
Temptation
Surly Pentagram
Love Child #3
Rodenbach Grand Cru
Cerasus
La Folie
Dissident

 

No one has said Rodenbach Vintage.

It totally destroys Rodenbach Gran Cru and Classic. Yes, it costs more, but it isn't crazy spendy. $20/750ml. It's one of my favorite sour beers.

 

Haven't had the opportunity to try too many sours yet, but I loved Allagash FV 13, and to a lesser extent, Allagash Interlude.

 

It's MA specific, but for all you traders and sour lovers out there you should seek out Night Shift Brewing's (Everett, MA) Ever Weisse. I had it at the brewery about a month ago and it was love at first sip. Then I got a bottle of it from my sister as a gift. A damn fine sour. My other favorite this year has been Boulevard Love Child #3. I've snapped it up whenever I've seen a bottle(s).

 

La Folie, Eric's Ale, and La Terroir from NB. Pretty much any of AC Golden's Hidden Barrel fruit sours. Ditto with Cascade. Origins & Persica from Crooked Stave. Most of the "ion" sours from RR. While unknown outside of Denver, Dry Dock's Ambassador and Sour Apricot are amazing.

 

Cantillon Gueuze 100% Lambic
Abbaye De Saint Bon-Chien
Gueuze Tilquin (Draught Version)

 

Favorites so far on my sour adventure:

Fou Foune
Allagash FV13
Cantillon Classic

Ones I'm looking forward to cracking:

More Cantillon Classic

Wish I could crack these:

Fantasia

Top 5

Consecration
Vigneronne
Drie Oude Gueze
Drie Doesjel
Gasthaus Brettanomyces Lambicus

 

Cuvee des Jacobins is one of my favorites just based on how ridiculously sour it is. For a more sweet/sour balance, Vichtenaar or Duchesse. I have trouble choosing between the 2, but they're both brewed by Brouwerij Verhaege so I guess they win either way. Best bang for the buck is probably Rodenbach Grand Cru, ~$10 for a 750ml around here.

 

Petrus Aged Pale if you want something real sour, but don't want to break the bank.

a 750ml will set you back, maybe $10

La Folie is good choice too, but I don't see many still on shelves, and at $15/22oz its hard to justify over Petrus.
Rodenbach Grand Cru is another great choice, but not as sour.

 

Recently went on a tour of Jester King and enjoyed just about everything they had there, but the Funk Metal has to be my absolute favorite sour. The idea of a sour stout may sound odd at first but it really does have a delicious blend of the flavors you expect from each respective style.

 

Duchesse is a great beer for sure, and it's definitely a great entry-level sour, but it's so insanely hit or miss.
I don't think I've had two bottles that are the same, even from the same batch. Some are tooth-achingly sweet, some have a really nice balance of sweet and sour, while some others are like fermented cat piss... and every shade in-between.
