Blue Sunday is a solid one!  If I were you, I'd try to get my hands on as much Jackie O's (Athens, OH) brews as possible.  They do great small batch stuff and if you want to trade their sours or other limited releases for Cascade (which doesn't distribute to OH as far as I know) or other sours, you have excellent…
