Hello Sour Beer Travelers!
If you’re anything like me, then chances are that you enjoy seeking out places to drink a tasty sour beer while traveling. Unfortunately, sometimes these niche beers can be difficult to find! Therefore, we have created this sour beer map to help you find both breweries known to regularly produce sour beers as well as bars and restaurants that consistently offer sour beers on their menus. I hope you find it useful during your travels. If you are using a mobile device or application that supports google maps, you can also click here for a direct link to the sour beer map.
This map, like any reference to real world places, is a continuously evolving work in process. If you have favorite breweries, bars, or restaurants in your area which consistently serve sour beer, please email me so that they can be added to the map.
Cheers!

I LOVE sour beer! The Knickerbocker in Altoona, PA has about 15 beers on tap that they rotate. You can usually find a sours or 2 there.
Howdy Howdoo,
I really dig your website, I just stumbled across it today. (To my good fortune) I live in KC, MO. There are not a lot of shops in the area that sell sour beers for at home consumption. The good news is I have found a little locally-owned store that is willing to order a variety of sours to stock their shelves with. Apparently I am not the only one with such a request. I was hoping you would have some suggestions as to what I should ask for. You in your great tarty wisdom might have a better idea as to what is readily available, easy to order, and obtainable. Versus limited, seasonal, or basically impossible to find. I have had success with Monks, Bells Oarsman, Crane (a local brewery), and the owner is looking into any New Belgium sours. What do you recommend/think? Thanks in advance.

I believe crooked stave should be available for you. Any of the Anderson Valley goses are very tasty (standard, blood orange, briney melon). New Belgium makes some very solid sours for a large brewery.
thank you – we (Anderson Valley Brewing) also produce and bottle several mixed culture sour beers (Thribble Currant, Gatlin Damnosis, Horse Tongue Wheat) as well as the Goses
Thanks for including us on the Sour Beer Map! All of us here at Brewery Vivant appreciate it. Let us know the next time you visit.
