I love sour beers.  I am a big fan of Lambics (real ones, not those artificially flavored things that are marketed as Lambics)

As I understand it most people do, but personally I don't like much of anything sour.  I tend to prefer bitters which is what makes me like the IPA and ESB.

Most people can't handle real Lambic.  It is too sour for them.  I love it though.   We have a microbrewery that makes it a few miles away from where I live.

My buddy is a brewer in Seattle and is really into sour beers (he's currently making a sour Cherry Stout in port barrels). He mentioned that some of his favorite sour beers are from Cantillon. It's pricey stuff, but apparently delicious! I can;t wait to get my self some bottles of this stuff. You guys should give it a try.

EDIT: Forgot to mention. The Consecration Ale form Russian River Brewery is pretty damn tasty as well!

Nick can u arrange for me to be able to buy a 6pak or 2 from your buddy? (if his yield would allow for that?)
It sounds like its gonna be amazing!

I think blue moon is the best domestic. Slice of orange in it and its tits.

Although I wouldn't say it is the best domestic, you are right - Blue Moon with orange is very good.

My new thing is Hefeweizen w/ Orange juice!

Hell yes.  Lambics are incredible.  I love the Lindemans Framboise and Pomme, and their gueuze, Cuvée René.  The gueuze is insanely sour and completely different from any other beer I've ever had, in a good way.  If I could afford it, I'd drink lambics and gueuzes every day.

For the absolutely insane bitter beer drinker, my local BevMo carries Brew Dog, Sink the Bismark.  Quadruple IPA 41% ABV.

That's just plain crazy...

I think I'll just stick to bourbon or vodka if I want something with that kind of ABV.  I'm all for the high ABV beers, but 41% is just absurd.

I had an Old Foghorn Barleywine from Anchor Brewing Co. in San Francisco today.  I've had a six pack aging in the fridge for a year now.  So damn good.  I have a six of Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Barleywine and a four pack of Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout aging for next year.

I can't wait until June.  I've been aging an Ommegang Three Philosophers, and the year will be up on June 17th.  That will truly be an event.  I wonder what cigar I'll have with it?

Belgium.  Between Trapist and Wit Beers, best stuff out there.

X2.  There's a bunch of micro brews here in CO that do belgium style beers.  Works for me.

Three Philosophers with a year on it! You're in for a treat!
That's the first craft beer that I tried and liked a little over
2 yrs ago!

I'm amazed the beer lasted that long! It would be too hard not to drink it if I knew it was there. Something to think about though.

I will check with him. I don't know if it's something for his job, or if it's a pet project, but I know I'd love some of it too.

Most of my beer comes with a "born on" date, to make sure I don't age it too long.

Chris, if you come out this way, let me know.  We can get a couple of lambics at the microbrewery in Fullerton.

Sounds like a plan, Jackal!  I'm always down for some lambic, especially when it's on tap.

If it's micro-brews you want you need to come see me in little ole Montana!!

I have a local dive that serves 21 (yes that's right twenty one!) Montana made micro-brews and every one of them has wonderful merit.

You come see me, I'll buy until we have to scrape you into the car!

How can he promise this?  :confused:  Simple answer, my little dive only charges $3 for a big mug!

Come one! Come all!

I would say Oregon is definitely Top 5 based on; McMenamins Brewery, Widmer Brothers Brewery, Deschutes Brewery and Rogue Brewery alone. These 4 breweries make some excellent beer.

Anyone in the metro Detroit area needs to try some Dragonmead Beer. http://www.dragonmead.com/ Great brewery in Warren that makes strong great tasting beer.

Final Absolution is a 10% Belgian style that is a silent assassin. They come in four packs for a reason.

Under the Kilt Wee Heavy is my favorite while enjoying a cigar. It's a Scottish style ale with a 7.8% ABV.
Insert witty phase here,
while I clear my mind and enjoy this cigar.

Man, its a quarter to 10 in the morning and after reading this thread, I really want to drink... I am surprised with all of the fans of Wits and Lambics that no one has thrown Allagash into the mix. They are a small brewery in Portland, Maine that make some of my favourite American-Belgians. Their Curiex and Odyssey offerings are nothing short of amazing! Look for them at Whole Foods and I think Trader Joe's might carry them.

Sierra Nevada hands down for me.  My hometown brew.  If you live in Cali, I highly reccomend making the visit to the brewery to sample their beers.  When I used to live there, every night there was a bar that had dollar pitcher nights.  I remember the first time asking for a pint and being told that a pitcher was cheaper.  I almost fainted.
