Any mags going to the What the Funk?! side party during GABF?
had grand teton's sour grand saison last wknd. really liked it. more saision than sour but still a good balance. wish I had another to age.
This is amazing:Attachment 172523
Limited release so might not be around for long. They're definitely stepping up their game.
Drinking both of my Berliner Weiss variations. Turned out really good. Sours on tap in the Scotty cave.
Spent some time at the Cascade Brewing Company taproom in Portland, OR a couple of months ago. Some seriously good sours on tap there (Kriek in particular). Also, just went to the Crooked Stave taproom in Denver for the first time recently, they have a lot of great stuff on tap and having the option to do tasters is a great way to try a bunch. The dark sour ale aged in Leopold Bros. whiskey barrels with cherries was amazing. Great way to kill an hour while waiting for a table at Acorn (which is also pretty amazing).
Had a 2013 avec le bon vieux from Dupont on Wednesday. Goodness, that bottle was right. Made me want to buy a case. Might just suck it up and do that.
Cascade is great. The peach and raspberry are both awesome (pretty much the only ones I can find around here).Quote:

I think sierra nevada nailed it with their cactus grapefuit bile gose style ale.
I was mad as hell when i ordered an anderson valley blood orange gose and it was out( on the east coast), so this being my first, could i have done better?
I've been pounding the Otra Vez lately.Quote:

Still brewing/ drinking sours and funkys.
Bump for summer. This is expensive but really good. Also the petite sours are back. Attachment 182600
For CO mags Odd 13 makes a really nice sour called Vincent van Couch that's pretty cheap and comes in in a sixer of cans.
Had a few of those the other day. Really refreshing. Also had their Walk in the Woods Tequila barrel aged Lime Ale and REALLY liked that (Not a sour technically)Quote:

Those Odd 13 canned sours are a niche product for sure but they're mighty darn good for those times when you want something a little different than the usual canned offerings.
Same here, the girl likes it too so I'm bringing those bastards home on the regularQuote:

They sure the hell do! That fruity apricot nose gets followed right up by the nice tart palate. Good shit for sure.
Just had a Casey B&B cascade dry hopped saison the other night. What a beer! Gotta be among the top couple of examples of that style in the world right now.
Damn. That is such a great summer beer. Loaded a sixer in my golf bag the other day and they were so refreshing. These sours are awesome summer beers. Fuck that wheat beer bullshit.Quote:

There are NO damn good sour beers out there. They taste like a foot of an 89 year old man.
FYI: Almanac Golden Gate Gose is blah and I have to keep my eye out for that Dry Dock Apricot Sour around here.
Long Trail just put out a cranberry gose- I think it's pretty great.
I finally checked out Holy Mountain Brewing here in Seattle over the weekend. These guys do some great brett beers, specializing in saisons. If you're visiting Seattle and are into sour beers Holy Mountain is a must. http://holymountainbrewing.com/
I agree. I don't go often but I'm a big fan of nearly every beer I've had there. I really like the reasonably priced small pours, it's a nice place to stop and turn around when walking on waterfront in the summerQuote:
