Another German style to explore:

https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/styles/87/

"Low in alcohol, refreshingly tart, and often served with a flavored syrup like Woodruff or raspberry, the Berliner-style Weisse presents a harmony between yeast and lactic acid. These beers are very pale in color, and may be cloudy as they are often unfiltered. Hops are not a feature of this style, but these beers often do showcase esters. Traditional versions often showcase Brettanomyces yeast. Growing in popularity in the U.S., where many brewers are now adding traditional and exotic fruits to the recipe, resulting in flavorful finishes with striking, colorful hues. These beers are incredible when pairing. Bitterness, alcohol and residual sugar are very low, allowing the beer’s acidity, white bread and graham cracker malt flavors to shine. Carbonation is very high, adding to the refreshment factor this style delivers. Many examples of this style contain no hops and thus no bitterness at all."

Very likely not to cause cavities.

I'm not a fan of sours, but Berliner Weisse is one of my favorite styles. I'll absolutely have at least one on Saturday.

I love sours now. Worked my way into them when I read a fascinating article about Belgium sour breweries, spiders and the fascinating brewing process. Took me a little bit to get into them but now I love them.

Are goses included on your sour list?

[devildeac]

Another list of German biers, included because the style originated there and it's German Virtual Pub in two days!!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gose

"Gose is a warm fermented beer that originated in Goslar, Germany. It is usually brewed with at least 50% of the grain bill being malted wheat. Dominant flavours in gose include a lemon sourness, a herbal characteristic, and a strong saltiness (the result of either local water sources or added salt). Gose beers typically do not have prominent hop bitterness, flavours, or aroma. The beers typically have a moderate alcohol content of 4 to 5% ABV."

Gose, sours, kettle sours, Flanders red ales. There are other I think. These I have had and enjoy.

Including from New Glarus? Because those rock.

Only other "sours" I can think are Berliner Weisses that I mentioned a bit upthread.

Those are tough to procure unless you travel to Wisconsin or, have a family connection.

Some of my faves. I got into them because a good night for me was a night out with my friends at a conference or meeting and drinking 3 different beers. For about 6 or 7 years they were almost always IPAs. But the older I got the more I would feel like absolute crap afterwards. So I started looking for lower alcohol content beers. Always loved Browns but hit the sours to branch out and fell in love with them.
