So last night I picked up a bottle of New Belgian's Lips of Faith Series Tart Lychee. Absolutely loved it. From what I understand this is merely a gateway, maybe even a poor example of a good gateway to sours. So I am asking you the BA what are some good or even great sours.
My money goes to Cascade. and Russian River. and 3F. and Jolly Pumpkin. and Cascade again. Can't seem to find any Cantillon within my budget. yet. the search continues.
I usually shop at Bigtop Liquors, Haskell's and The Ale Jail. Can I find some of these beers at these locations? Oh and thanks so much for the suggestions too and please keep em comin. Cheers
I'm up for damn near anything in a brew these days, but I no diggity the sours. Just can't get into 'em and they mess with acid reflux like nothing else.
Sour beers are terrible. If you have never tried one don't its not worth your time. I wonder why any beer geek worth anything would want to drink one of these. Please do not purchase any sour beers that you may see in your travels and beer mail me ASAP with its location so that I can dispose of it properly. Rewards will be issued for any Cantillons captured alive. Sincerely, Joe
Being they are the only sours I've had and I live less than 45 minutes from the brewery I'd go with Russian River. Sure some might be a little pricey in the bottle but it's worth it!
