    Over 10 posts in and no one has mentioned Cantillion?

    I've never seen one of these, don't think you can get em in S. Florida.

    I know I can get Jolly Pumpkin so that's the next one I'm gonna try, don't remember seeing hannsens but then again I didn't look for it specifically.

    if you see 3F, Oud Beersel, or Girardin, then youll most likely see Hanssens. They seem to run together.

    We get very occasional 3F(nothing in about a year to my knowledge), Oude Beersel can be found occasionally(think BX Beer Depot still has some), I've never seen Girardin down here(I get mine in Orlando), and Hanssens makes appearances occasionally(last time I saw was at Coffee District in Delray).

    Also, they don't send much Cantillon and it's one case and it's gone instantly(or darn near it)

    Cascade isn't distributed in Palm Beach County or south of there. Also, for the Treasure Coast, we still haven't gotten Sang Noir yet. Still waiting, my sources say next month.

    Yeah, it seems that Jacksonville, St. Pete/Tampa, and a little went to Orlando on that release. Not sure why it didn't hit here, maybe they're waiting on more or maybe they just hate us. Whatever the case, trying to wait patiently but it's hard. WTB Moar Sourz

    It will be well worth the wait once it finally arrives. You can also order it directly from Cascade if you don't want to wait http://shop.cascadebrewingbarrelhouse.com/product.sc?productId=7&categoryId=2

    I'll eventually do a Cascade order, but it's just easier to not pay shipping. If I get the word that it's not actually coming, I'll have to save my pennies.

    The question was sourest, not best sour.

    The beer was quite sour but still drinkable a few months after release. Who knows what they're like now.

    It's certainly very sour. I had one maybe a month ago and I had a very hard time drinking it.

    Yes I have tried Old Growth, and it's pretty damn sour. Lots of nail polish too, which seems to conincide with some of the most aggressively sour beers.

    Several of the Santa Fe Wilds belong in the discussion, especially #5.

    And, I admit it sounds like bragging, but I had a 1959 Drie Fonteinen Framboos in March that was intensely sour. And nail polishy. Barely drinkable really, excepting for the rarity and all.

    well shit, if youre throwing Jackie Os in, might as well throw in Funky Southpaw.

    Funky South Paw isn't as sour , but damn tasty non-the-less

    it was the most sour I had when I was there. Way more than Dark Robustic #1 (which might have been the best beer Ive ever had--even than Cantillon Iris, HT, PtE, and others).
