There are some pretty solid sours in Texas that are available all the time... Rodenbach Grand Cru, Gueze Boon, Cuve Renee, Petrus, etc. can be picked up almost anywhere at almost anytime. Can't speak for CS specifically, but I'm sure they are around to some degree.
this is what I was going to say. Look past the tx shelf and find the Belgians. They make world class sours and they have been in to for a decade if not longer. Duchesse and liefman are excellent.

I'm glad you brought this up, a friend of mine is going to Portland in May and offered to mule some stuff for me. He'll be heading out to the coast and offered to go to de garde but I was slightly underwhelmed by what they had to go when I went there last year and it doesn't seem like they put there fruited stuff on the to go menu that often.
The next place that came to mind was Commons, how do they stack up to some of the other breweries in the PDX area?

maca, might want to take a look at this list for some ideas:
http://www.oregonlive.com/beer/index.ssf/2015/11/the_oregonianoregonlives_top_5.html

There is a lot of stuff I disagree with in ordering but overall this is a pretty good list to reference. A decent number of the top 25 are year-round brews and should be easy enough to find at any of the good bottle shops or direct at the brewery. Boneyard Notorious and Hop Venom aren't bottled/canned, but they've increased the Notorious production a lot and you can usually get a crowler filled at the Growler Guys in SE Portland. Both of these are far superior to the Breakside IPA that was ranked #1 IMO, and that's coming from a really big Breakside fan.

Rather than a special trip to De Garde, might want your friend to head to Hood River and swing by Logsdon/pFriem/Double Mountain especially if a day in the Columbia river gorge is already on the agenda.

Grimm does some of my favorite labels and IPAs. This one is excellent.

Got a question for yall. One of my all time favorite beers is Dortmunder Gold from Great Lakes Brewing. It's not distributed to Texas and I'm down to my last bottle. I dont have any trips planned to the Midwest in foreseeable future to restock.

Can any of y'all point me towards something similar that I can get in DFW?

Yep, not sure what happened in this thread around 7-12 months ago but we are expecting in July as well.

Been stocking up on beer knowing it will be tough to make it out to JK for releases once he's here.

Thanks! Reading that list reminded me of how good pallet jack was, that pelican brewing mother of all storms sounds pretty bad ass too.

I've definitely bought a couple cases from there. I assume it's still in stock, but a different heb I frequent got their shipment around the same time as bunker hill and is now down to just a few 6 packs. but bunker hill appeared to get a bit more, and they are generally better supplied, so I'm pretty sure they've got some

I didn't even know b52 had a saison hop series with rotating hops in the otherwise same recipe, but the sorachi ace is pretty damn good. only other b52 beer I've had was a wheat ipa I think, which was pretty meh. no idea if anything else in their lineup is any good

Mother of all storms is fantastic, but doesn't get released until I believe late fall. 2015 is long gone.
