plenty of breweries producing excellent sours in norcal. not sure i’d call it faddish, and definitely not undrinkable. as for easy to find ones (around here at least), russian river makes some great barrel aged sours

every winter this big arboretum near me hosts their winter beer walk: a crowded, soul crushingly frigid affair where you go from stand to stand trying the absolute worst, failed science experiment brews they cannot possibly sell otherwise. it's kind of fun in a perverse way - last year was particularly funny because it was so cold most of the kegs froze solid

Rickards White (which I think got discontinued) or Belgian Moon are good summer beers. Kilkenny the rest of the year. But those are both expensive so I stick with Alexander Keiths most of the time

You could try doing both. I hope this was sufficiently patronizing, as requested.
