Was out of town and had a really great American Wild Ale from Une Annee when there. Curious what people think is the best availablein the GNO area?

I don't know about NOLA, but in terms of what is distributed, and what you can get pretty regularly (at least here in BR), i really like stuff form Jolly Pumpkin. Of course drinking some NOLA sours are great as well, but JP does some really good stuff as well. Goose Island also makes great sours.

I think Parleaux Beer Lab would be the best bet.

Does LA get Cascade yet? Crooked Stave? I know Bruery is in LA and they have about 1000 different beers, some really good.

Wicked Weed should be coming soon to a gas station near you, and they make good sours as well.

No crooked stave, but we do have cascade. Just don't want to spend $26-$32 and are very tart.

Love WW, but we won't be seeing it anytime this year.

Some of these might be on shelves and/or I would recommend if you see if the future:

Bruery Rueuze
Bruery Sour In The Rye
Anchorage/Hill Farmstead Arctic Saison
Anchorage Bitter Monk
Anchorage Love Buzz
Goose Island sisters (Juliet, Halia, etc.)
Cascade Apricot (and other Cascade stuff)
Prairie Funky Gold series
Nola Arabella
Great Raft You, Me, and Everyone We Know
Great Raft Farmhouse Slang
Great Raft Oceans Between Us

Some of these might be better categorized as funky/sour saisons, than what people think of as american wild ales, but the lines are blurred IMO.

Still some crooked stave on the shelves around the city.

Also, if you like American Wild Ales, then try some traditional lambic. You should be able to find Drie Fonteinen and Tilquin at Stein's. You may have to ask Dan Stein specifically for it. I'm not sure what he puts out on shelves these days.

Didn't think those were still lingering. I would definitely recommend some of their stuff.

They aren't abundant anymore. I overheard someone acting like they were in the know about another shipment coming this way.

Not even with that Ab-inBev distro? I figured most in the southeast would at least see the more common ones.

I asked, but i don't think Louisiana is in this year's rollout. Again, this was on facebook messenger. Things may have changed.
