    Petrus Aged Pale is the correct answer. Readily available and $8 for 750ml. Oh, and tasty too.

    I'm not a sour expert but I'm going to suggest Love Child #3

    I bought this and it is really good, but $22 a 4 pack. New Glarus is less than half the price.

    Seems like Reinaert Wild Flemish never gets mentioned. I want to say its $10 for a 750ml.

    Also Jester King sours. Not widely available, but $12-$16 per bottle down here.

    Wisconsin Belgian Red from New Glarus will be returning in a few weeks. Around $9 a bottle. Comparable to Liefman's Cuvee Brut, but better & at a better price.

    Well, considering it needs to sit in barrels for 18 months, I'm not sure it will be soon unless Dan had another batch somewhere. Just give us some Cranbic while we wait.

    Not a ton of sours/wilds available in Louisville, but I'd have to go with Lindemans Gueuze Cuvee Rene or the Petrus Aged Pale Ale for a sour. If we are counting beers w/Brett, I'd throw Green Flash Rayon Vert in there.

    [qote="LotsofLupulin, post: 1944337, member: 675361"]Not for $18 a bottle here in CO. But I bet you got a much better deal.[/quote]
    Yup, $8.99 average in AZ. Sadly it's all gone except for a few out of the ordinary places.

    The souring cave should be up and running within a few months. I'll bet that will lead to more limited releases or R&D releases at the brewery.

    Good call...forgot about this one. On the wild side of the discussion, this may take the cake.

    This is an issue but think of it this way you can trade for it and still probably get it for less than a lot of things. WI BA's are more than happy to help people get NG beers usually $4$. Its just shelf beer here so its not like you have to trade anything rare for it anyways.

    Yeah, once Belgian Red hits, there will be several folks buying entire cases for trading.

    I agree it was delicious, but unfortunately it was $7 a bottle here.

    This. Cuvee Rene isn't going to shatter any brains, but it's hard to beat at the price point. Their fruit stuff is basically sugar, but I keep a couple bottles of Rene around at all times to cure the sour fix.

    I agree with New Glarus Wild Sour, but I also think White Birch Berliner Weisse is a great deal at ~$5 for a bomber. Both are tasty.

    Does anyone know why Le Terroir is 18 bucks in CO when its 7 bucks at the liquor store by my buddies place in Chicago? I'm baffled.

    Is that a new RR sour?
