Sours available in MSP

Very few options are better or cheaper than good old Belgians IMO. there is some 2009 Marrige parfait gueze Ive seen hanging around (for only $17/750ml! *coughMNbreweriestakenotecough*). Hanssens is always solid, the Sour Power 6 pack is good bang for the buck, Pentagram is still plenty of places. Ive seen white birch berlinerweiss recently, but have never had it. Cisco has a whole line of sours, but they're all $20+ which is too rich for my blood unless its an awesome Belgian. Occasionally you can find De Cam, but havent seen it in a while.

Zipps has one of the best sour selections around.

 

You can still find some La Folie and Love Child #4 around, plus the Schells Brunette, with the Black Cherry soon to come.

 

Minnesota must of recently gotten a shipment of Boon's sours. See them in many stores now. Marriage Parfait, Oude Gueze, and Kriek.

 

Tilquin is now in stores as is Girardin both are great but a bit pricey Boon IMO is the best value for taste

 

I have seen duchesse de bourgogne regularly $10 around the city.

 

MCImes - if you like Berliners you should definitely try the White Birch. A solid Berliner IMO.

OP - I'd suggest Brau Brothers Bancreagie Sour Peated Ale. Still lingering out there.

 

Heck, the Costco in Maplewood has Duchesse by the boatload - and it's around $9 as I recall, maybe even $8.

 

Had a couple from White Birch in 12oz bottles. Sour Brown and Ned The Red. Both good, with the red being slightly better.

 

Where is white birch sold in the west metro

 

Haskell's
Glen Lake
Princeton's

 

Finally tried Evil Twin's Nomader Weisse, I thought it was really tasty and will definitely be picking up some more.

 

That is a great Berliner Weisse!! Well worth searching out.

 

Rodenbach Grand Cru.

 

Is the Boulevard hibiscus gose around?

 

Love child is always easy to find because its like $22 here. No one ever buys it

 

Brau Brothers released a new one called Test Positive. Bought a 750ml bottle for $13.99 but have not tried it yet.

Soured amber ale positively infected with lacto, pedio, and just a touch of bret. Barrel aged for months in used oak barrels.

 

Had a Funkelweizen sour (or two) at Fair State yesterday. Tremendous.

 

One to avoid is "Sour Bomb" from Bank Brewing. This $10 bomber does not deliver on any front.
