The ones I've seen come in 750ml bottles (like wine), are corked like champagne, and run anywhere from $8 to $15/bottle.

I've had the Duchesse de Bourgogne and now the Rodenbach Grand Cru, both of which are in the Flanders red ale styles. Another I'm keeping an eye out for is the Monk's Cafe Flanders Red Ale.

Liefman's Oud Bruin is a Flanders brown.

Lambics are similar to the sours: Cantillon Grand Cru Bruocsella, Boon Oude Kreik, Cantillon Kriek, Cantillon Rose de Gambrinus, Cantillon St. Lamvinus, Hanssens Oud Kriek.

Oud Gueze: Boon Oude Gueuze, Cantillon Gueze.
Not sure if this falls in the category of sour beers and yes I know not a top of the line type of company but I bought Blue Moon Brewing Company's "short straw farmhouse red ale." Described as a Flanders Red with hints of white pepper and a tart finish. I really enjoyed it as well. If the sour beer category are similar to this, I definitely like it?
