    I like Upright Brewing Company Gose but it's not cheap here and I tried Anderson Valley this summer but can't get it locally.

    Locally we have a Gose from Victoria's Driftwood Brewing called Gose-Uh which is pretty good and I have drank that this summer.

    Degarde Hose absolutely mind blowing.

    Choc makes a great Gose. Love Westbrook. And the Boulevard Hibiscus Gose exceeded my expectations.

    I thought Voodoo's Gose was frickin' delicious. Of the half-dozen or so I've had, theirs has been my favorite as well.

    Have enjoyed AV goes in cans and recently had it on tap, excellent. Have you tried any Berliner Weiss? There are some great examples from 3 Floyd's (Deesko!) and The Bruery (hottenroth).

    I'm not a fan of the WB Gose, but the WB Gozu was much more palatable.

    Anyone that says their favorite gose is anything besides Westbrook's has either A.) never had it, or is B.) lying.

    I have only recently tried this style. I have had Boulevard and Anderson Valley. By far Anderson Valley was the best to me. I am extremely eager to try Westbrook's offering, but I just haven't made my way to SC lately. But when I do...

    For me it's Ritterguts, followed by Westbrook's. Tired Hands had an excellent version brewed with key lime.

    I know a place that apparently has the Hibiscus Gose, I'm going there tomorrow! Can't wait to try it.

    I brought a bottle of JK's Snorkel to a share the other night and even the guys who don't like the gose style enjoyed it. It seemed like a "gose light" and it was really easy to drink and very tasty.

    I once had a waitress pronounce Gose "Goose" that was funny. But Lost Nation's is by far the best Gose I've ever had.

    I hope to have the Westbrook later this year.

    The Yink and the Troublesome are fine, but anyone claiming those as their favorites haven't had gose by Rapp, Cigar City, Lost Nation or the Ritterguts.

    The Nightshift gose was pretty decent too but it paled in comparison to the berlinner weisse.

    Westbrook and A. Valley are both very good, but Lost Nation wins it for me. That is just an outstanding beer.

    I had the Westbrook Gose a few weeks ago when I went to Charleston. I also had the same experience and am seeking out more of this style, glad I stumbled across this thread!

    I've been hunting these down since I got my first taste this spring.
    Here's my preference:

    Gose Gone Wild
    Westbrook Gose
    De Garde Hose
    Ritterguts Gose
    Hibiscus Gose
    Green Bird Gose (second batch was much better than the first)
    The Kimmie, The Yink & The Holy Gose
    Freigeist
    Gozu

    All have been enjoyable so far though.
