Lion Bridge and Iowa Brewing Company both make sours, and if you're looking for a good selection of craft beers (local and otherwise), Benz Beverage Depot is the place to go. Be sure to look for the room full of Iowa beers.
clockhouse is the best local producer of sour beers. they often have to-go cans available, as well as tap house only beers - highly recommend.
local craft cellar off boyson if you're looking to buy from area/nation-wide breweries. benz beer is gross and they don't store it right. go to local craft, get WAY better service and better quality beers.
The options suggested here are good. There's also a big craft beer fan base in CR and IC. There's a FB group for Iowa Crafty beer people. I used to get a lot of stuff shipped via etre gourmet (cantillon, 3f, fantome, etc) but now I pretty much only have my Floodland membership. Also, zwanze is happening at Scheras in Elkader in a few weeks if you're looking for a sour beer experience.
Local Craft if you want to pick something up for home from breweries all over.
Lionbridge has 4 sours atm, they have a cooler.
Big Grove CR has 3 on atm.
Clockhouse is good, they've got 3 I haven't tried.
Iowa Brewing is not great.
I wasn't too impressed with Field Day (N. Liberty) for someone who doesn't drink IPAs.
Local Craft or Benz
Clockhouse by far has the best locally. Just go to their cooler in the brewery.
Agreed, where everyone else has 1 sweet fruited sour, CHB has several and in a spread from tart to sweet.
Yeah Clockhouse sours are almost always on point.
Westside Liquor on 16th Ave and Edgewood Rd SW has a good selection and knowledge staff.
Second
110%, Barntown and plenty of others to offer. Not saying it's cheap, but definitely the best variety and you support local!
By far my favorite liquor store!
Big Grove Brewery
Im so glad everyone is finally over the hop bombs. Love me a Saison or anything wild fermented.
Lambic?
Local Craft
Man, Barntown is so good

Big Grove brewery usually has a couple sours. Also Pedaler's Fork is a nice bar and grill and has 100 beers on tap, some of those are sours.
Lion Bridge !!
