    You can include homebrews! Homebrews are outside of the 3 bottles though. So... 3 commercial, and as many HB as you want.

    I like cantillon also but who doesnt? Im pretty set on all the basic loons and current vintages of lp series etc. I am always very happy to recieve cantillons especially classic/bio gueuze(older the better) foune, vigneronne. Im also good on RR stuff but beatification is always accepted.
    I dont typically enjoy soured stouts and anything too vinegary. My wants are kind of a mess from another bif so dont hold those too high. If you need any help on what i would and wouldnt like theres a few guys in here that could prob help and also a few on my trading list (bearsonacid,ninner00,magoon) that know what i like pretty well.

    I think ship date is may 7th

    I like gueuze and lambics more than flemish reds and Berliners. Also like interesting American wilds.
    My three favorite sours to date have been 96 classic gueuze, cable car and compunction. I've tried lots of cantillon stuff and have loved every sip of it. Had fou foune a few times on tap and hand pump but never out of the bottle, would like to give that a go. Looking to try some more vintage gueuze and anything else interesting and funky. My top wants are up to date but may e a stretch so lll just add a few more upper echelon wants here,...resergum, cdc, bruery sours, ffac

    I was lucky enough to try that one and it was fantastic. Enjoy that little gem:slight_smile:

    To my sender-

    My profile states the tell tale signs of a guy who loves sours. Cantillion and Drie Fontienen are among my favorites. Jolly Pumpkin is my weakness though, especially older regular bottles. I have access to all the regular line up, but older regulars(especially LaRoja and Oro de Calabaza) and special releases are the dragon I chase. I've always wanted to try a Fou Foune, but the opportunity never presents itself.

    I enjoy Supplication and Temptation as my go to beers, but don't have any of the old bottle designs left, so any of those would be amazing. Anything from Cantillon or Drie Fontienen or Tilquin are also highly appreciated, the older the better of course (I just got some of the newest LP Kriek and St. Lamvinus so I am probably set on those). More of a Gueuze and Lambic guy and like vinous qualities much more than boozy liquor qualities.

    As far as in the states I've never had an opportunity to try any of Uplands Stuff or Captain Lawrence and have highly appreciated what I've had from Ithaca and would love any of their stuff.

    To my recipient, you are definitely East of me.

    I am in need of the rarer Cantillons. Any older bottles are most certainly welcomed at my house, as well. I am pretty easy to please when it comes to sours. As long as it isn't straight up vinegar, I'll love it.

    Oh, and I hate Sabatour. That was a vile beverage, turned back my glass. (had it 3 times, last glass was by far the worst)

    Searched around and found a brew that my target (according to his review list) hasn't had! Almost found a 2nd one, but it was sold out.

    I would like to be in, since you invited me for Tuesday, maybe, just maybe, you would let a Sour Noob in.

    I would let you in but targets already went out. That said, I'm sure I have some sour whales we can drink on tuesday.

    I would love Cantillon, Drie Fonteinen, American wilds, anything! Would love to try Upright Sours!

    I have good access to lots of east coast breweries, am a Bruery Reserve member, am in Philly with great distribution. Check out my wants and gots, I'll try to update them soon

    Btw my target has commented in this thread already and I can make them happy :slight_smile:
