Trying to track down a Sour form Craft Beer Tent

[intrepid27]

So, my daughter and I were at Craft Beer Tent at State Fair Saturday. She had a sour that I really liked and was trying to find it. I could have swore it was from Backpocket in IA City and was called Florida Man. But there's nothing on their website.

Anyone know anything about it? Or, maybe I'm wrong on the name or brewery. It was a pineapple/peach sour.

You are correct in what it was. I went to the craft beer tent website and it is listed there. Maybe it was something they brewed up for the fair?

You drank a beer and didn't immediately rate it on Untappd? Do you even drink craft beer?

Their website has the full list of beers:

I had to click this link to view a PDF. This has "A Florida Man" by Backpocket

Like NWICY said, it may have been something they brewed just for the fair.

Thanks,
I kicked BackPocket an email this morning and the reply said they still have some left in their taproom but do not plan on putting it in their line up.

Anyone else find anything exceptional at the Craft Beer Tent?

Time to go get a growler full.

That blows. Any other good Iowa sours you can recommend?

Peach and Chong from Barntown is awesome.

It's not Iowan, but the Grapefruit Supreme by Surly was good.

Yes, Huckleberry sour by Lake Time.
Not overly sour and well put together. Very refreshing on a hot day. I typically do not care for sours but I would buy this one.

Singlespeed and Big Grove both do excellent sours.

TG is supposedly getting ready to can their Dragon Fandango, but knowing them, it'll likely cost an arm, a leg, and possibly part of your reproductive system.

The Big Grove Que Sera has been a good go to sour beer for me.

Their Passion Project has been my favorite shelf beer so far this year. IMO, they're absolutely killing it since they started canning. Easy Eddy is the ideal crusher beer.

Singlespeed is also doing awesome things. I love Victory Dance as a go to IPA. Their sours are great. Their "Nimble Series" IPA's have been really interesting too.

It's nice to have good breweries in Iowa who aren't charging $18 for a 4 pack and are still pumping out consistently quality beer.

Sounds like Surly.

Toppling Goliath. You're telling me it costs an extra $4 per 4 pack to "double dry hop" a beer? Give me a break. Upgrading to a high tech, fully automated, high efficiency system has allowed them to justify raising prices while absolutely crushing it with profits.

Surly is similar. They are the most expensive craft brewer up here in MN and they have the biggest, most efficient system.
