      Goose Island has one that's supposed to be pretty good, I'd wager that's available in your region. There was another brewery down in MI that had a highly regarded wild sour but I can't recall it for the life of me.

      Think it, be it.

          Will check for Lolita, but Goose Island doesn't have a huge presence here. I've found that due to the enormous amount of quality brewers in state, shops tend to focus on carrying those full lines and only a couple select from outside the region. With Bells, Founders, Dark Horse, Arcadia, New Holland, Arbor, Atwater,Great Lakes, and a handful of others shelf space gets limited. There are plenty of exceptional brewers that have zero presence as a result. I would have no idea where to get anything from the likes of the Bruery. In truth, we just need a warehouse sized outlet to house all of the quality selections out there

            Well we have hundreds and hundreds of breweries and many of them bottle, but you can still find out of state beer; it could be a provincial attitude by the stores or distributors more than anything.

              I tend to agree mclain. We do get some, it's just selective. Victory, Dogfish,Bourbon County, Stone's, Sierra Nevada, Lagunitas, and others are carried, just in lesser capacity.

                Right–those are national brands for sure.

                Life is extraordinarily hectic ATM, but I want to share/trade some of the local beers (and Bruery, if that's off the radar) with folks who are interested.

                Think it, be it.

                  Understand hectic…owe Eli a shipment (one more and it's filled with specials), but would be game if there's anything around here you're interested in.

                    Yep, same; we'll talk soon on that, I also wanted to help Mr Pigler out as well as Mega and the Padmores, and other curious parties.

                      La Follie from New Belgium is a good intro to sours, along with the Love Child series from Boulevard.

                              I found them after my last trade with Dan. Bubble wrap and shipping supplies are far more costly and less secure. Thought with the trades that go on, others might find this useful.

                                I've had trouble with even painstaking packing, there's no comparison to vessel formed padding. Used similar to get wine home from Oz.

                                  If you check, they have supplies for wine and 750ml bottles too. Glad someone will find them of use

                                        Had the day off yesterday so I had some afternoon beers!

                                        Grapefruit Sculpin, great as always. Not over the top fruit flavors, just enough to be refreshing and different.
                                        I still have yet to try out the Habanero version, not sure I want to as the combo doesn't sound enticing.

                                        Brooklyn Sorachi Ace.
                                        Not sure how I felt about this one after one small bottle, spicy and smooth but something just didn't taste right.
                                        Maybe just a bit too yeast-y.  😠

                                          Mouthwatering description though!..

                                          Brooklyn Sorachi Ace is a classic saison, a cracklingly dry, hoppy unfiltered golden farmhouse ale, but featuring rare Sorachi Ace hop.Fermented with our special Belgian ale strain, we add Sorachi Ace hops post-fermentation. After 100% bottle re-fermentation with Champagne yeast, the beer emerges with a bright spicy lemon zest aroma. It tastes like sunshine in a glass, and that suits us just fine, especially with seafood dishes and fresh cheeses.

                                            Yup, that along with the ratings I saw I figured it was worth a pickup.
                                            Luckily I've got three more bottles to give it a go again!
