Happy Monday everyone, I'm not familiar with sours and just recently has my first one, Citra Sour from Almanac. Can anyone point me in the direction of some good sours? Looking for ones to drink and ones that would be good in my just started cellar. Thanks!
Every Destihl sour I've had in a bottle has been excellent. Check those out. I won't say you should avoid the canned ones, but keep your hopes lower for those.
Thanks for the quick responses! My next trip to the liquor store will hopefully have me buying some of all of those..
National Stuff you can find on shelves at Binny's (Some might be a little harder to get than others, but they are available): Wakatu Sour from Almanac Simcoe Sour from Almanac Oude Tart from The Bruery Pineapple Kumquat Berliner Weiss by Perennial Love Child Series from Boulevard Grand Cru by Rodenbach Duchess de Bourgogne from Brouwerij Verhaeghe Blood Orange Gose from Anderson Valley Petrus Aged Pale by Brouwerij De Brabandere Local Sours Any of the Wild series from Penrose Pear Bear by Three Floyds Natures Candy by Mikerphone Blue Hast Mich by Mikerphone Daft Funk by Mikerphone Any Berliner Weiss from Pipeworks (My favorite is Blue Lady -- May still be sitting on some shelves) Duchess De Bridgeport from Marz Any of the Wild Sour Series from Destihl There's just a few you should be able to find in the Chicago area and bigger liquor stores.
I would add sour/wild beers from transient, lake effect and une annee to the excellent list compiled by @jsrose16
@jsrose16 and @Raj Wow. Thanks for the details! That will make my next trip that much better. Luckily, my wife is also in on the cause, or "habit."
Marz - Ruby's Tears is one of my favoite Gose's and its always available. Also, I'll piggy-back on with all the Destihl votes.. their Berliner and Lynnbrook (Raspberry Berliner) are fantastic.
I've had some Penrose, but only at a beer fest so I don't really count it. Thanks for the help, @Can_has_beer and @Bdubbsyall .
I can't vouch for Destihl - Here Gose Nothin' strongly enough. It's pretty easily found and top notch stuff.
