Went to the cove Friday and had Goose Island's Sophie.

LINK

It was pretty damned good. I'm typically more of a traditional style craft drinker. I enjoy IPA's, Stouts, etc...
I've never been much into belgian style ales or farmhouse ales. But Sophie was pretty damned tasty. Can someone recommend to me, some other farmhouse style ales similar to this that i can acquire from Calandro's?

I don't know what Sophie tastes like but Stillwater makes awesome saisons. Cellar Door is Top Notch.

I've had a couple. Some were good some weren't. I had Stillwater Existant in my fridge for about 4 months, and tried it saturday. Did not like it at all.

I've had 2 others i liked, just can't remember which ones.

I also enjoy this style. One of my favorites.

I recommend the following, all are great!:

Ommegang Hennepin (Farmhouse Saison)

I forgot to list Le Merle on the link to the thread posted the other day.

Stillwater has a version of their Stateside beer that is aged in Chardonnay barrels and has a good bit of wild funk. However, it has been a while since I've seen it around here.

Brooklyn Sorachi Ace and the Ommegang Hennepin are two that I know they currently have at the Perkins location...

Debauched is available at calandros. It is aged in barrels (used Brunello barrels maybe). Has a nice tart funk to it.
