What's some good sours available around BR?

Calandros (and I heard Whole foods) have Cantillon Classic Gueuze. Get ready to shell $30/750ml. They may have some Cantillon Rose de Gambrinus left ($18-20/375ml). These are highly scored an top notch beers.

These come in 2-3 times a year though. I'd start with something more affordable if you're just starting to try them.

I know Calandros has the following:

1809 Berliner Weisse (a fav of mine)
Monks Cafe
Duchesse de Borgogne (step above monks cafe)
Liefmans Goudenband
Jolly Pumpkin La Parcela (my fav from JP)
Jacobins Rouge
Panil Barrique (one bottle left at about $20/750ml)
BFM Abbaye De Saint Bon-Chien (a few bottles left at about $20/750ml, a Biere de garde with sour/tart notes)

Edit: spelling
Have seen Petrus Aged Pale and Oud Bruin at BJs and the Cove recently.

Not on shelves now but we also get Vichtenaar (similar to monks cafe), Jolly Pumpkin La Roja (haven't seen on shelves in over a year, have seen it in laffy though more recently), Tilquin (more moderately priced gueuze)
