@prole They tend to not be available in the grocery stores nearby. The only place I’ve found a really good one was at a brewery tour and it was a one off brew someone had done for the attached bar.
Seems like (at least in the US), region can make a massive difference.
That said, my experience is that grocery stores are always going to have a limited alcohol stock, and sours probably don’t sell well enough for them to stock them.
There is an entire family of beers called “sours.” They’re funky AF. Pretty weird (but I’ve had good ones).
Dunno if that’s what yours was, but might be something to look into if it is and you like that style.
Sours are cool because they can taste like anything from cold vomit to a liquified popsicle
Just had a sixer of Victory Sour Monkey. They soured a Belgian Tripel. It’s awesome

Sours also cost more, at least from what I’ve seen with local breweries
If you’re in Wisconsin, there’s a ton of small (and not so small) breweries to pick from
