    Looking for some good sours that are usually available in Virginia. I've tried Weyerbacher Riserva and some of the Lips of Faith stuff. As far as I know the GI sours aren't avialable yet. My favorite non available sour is Supplication so I am looking for something along those lines.

    Tilquin, Drei Fonteinen and Oude Beersel are probably amongst the only regular ones available. New Holland has a couple as well and there's always Lindemans Cuvee Renee.
    if you're in the right spot/right time the occasional/rare Avery, Allagash, Fantome, De Dolle, Birra Del Borgo, Jolly Pumpkin ones come through. havent seen a Cantillon bottle come through in a couple of years, at least here in Richmond.

    Thanks for the help. Never seen any Jolly Pumpkin near me. I wish I could find La Roja on the regular.

    I've only seen 1 case of JP total here over the past few years and the distributor split it up between 2 different shops... the shops didnt even bother putting it on shelves, they just called up a few regular customers.

    If you're in Springfield, you should roll 45 min into DC or MD and grab some JP. La Roja and their saisons seem to be pretty plentiful. It's not THAT far a drive.

    I enjoy Petrus Aged Pale, but that is more of a vinegar sour.

    Any suggestions on places to buy La Roja? Where in MD? I've heard DC's prices are ridiculous. Some one told me Supplication sells for $20+ a bottle at Connecticut Wine and liquor. I bought it online for $14.

    closest place I know in MD is Perfect Pour in Columbia but they're generally on the higher side.
    I would think there has to be something closer to DC proper

    I picked up some La Roja at Magruders during Savor weekend. Not sure of the price on it, but I don't think it was that out of line.
