    The most sour beer I've had is 1 part lemon juice 1 part bud light.

    Destihl's Counter Clockweisse is ultra-lemony (in a way that I love) and definitely puckering, but with a nice nutty finish. Definitely worth a try.

    Sloop The Sauer Peach. Lots of potential, but I'm pretty sure it's the same stuff that was thrown at Harvey Dent and turned him into Two-Face.

    I'm with @Salt-n-Beer on this one about Destihl's Wild Sours; though I've only had their Flanders Red that was intense, but if you're talking straight up sour and acidity that one's for you.

    I agree, think it was the most sour I ever had. Not only that it was really good.

    Sans Pagaie from the Bruery was warhead like.

    Jacobins Rouge is very sour.

    Snozzberry has a large amount of acidity and is pretty sour.

    Oude Tart with Cherries was the sourest beer I've ever had. Needed antacid after finishing a 750

    sweet. I've got two of them. Are all bruery sours this way? The only other I've drank was very sour (Sans Pagaie).

    I got about a dozen in the mail this week Really looking forward to Ruebarb , Filmishmish, and The wanderer.

    De Garde's beers can get pretty damn sour; I love drinking their beers in small amounts- and I certainly love their prices- but it takes me a while to finish a bottle.

    They're all pretty sour, but this was by and far the sourest of them I've had

    Beautification and cascade's Apricot Ale are two that jump out to me. Pro tip: don't drink an entire 750 of the Cascade by yourself unless your stomach is lined with steel :confused:

    I would second most anything from Upland, Cascade, and some Bruery sours. For more frequent offerings, I would also second the Destihl Wild Sour series, which at $10 a 4 pack, one of the most affordable you can find.

    Mark me down for Destihl's Wild Sour Series as well. All four cans are stupid sour. Can't wait for the new one coming out soon. I'm sure it'll follow suit.

    I definitely second the Cascade Apricot, it's nuts. Genuinely shocked no one has mentioned The Rare Barrel. That stuff is off the charts sour and with OP's distribution channels it's obtainable. Seriously though, Rare Barrel and Upland are by far the most sour by a wide margin.
