    "One of the country's top breweries" only has 22 ratings on BeerAdvocate. Again, who?

    Looking at 8th State's current on-draft list, they have a hard seltzer, hazy ipas, sour ipas, and some fruited sours. Not a stout in sight.

    To be fair, a lot of people aren’t using BeerAdvocate for ratings anymore. Untappd is what most people are using these days.

    https://untappd.com/TheEighthState

    That’s the link to their Untappd page. Over 12,000+ ratings for the brewery on there vs 20+ on here.

    They’ve also released more than a handful of stouts and barley wines that have been extremely well received. For example:
    https://untappd.com/b/the-eighth-st...aged-neck-and-neck-batch-2-purple-wax/3227979
    https://untappd.com/b/the-eighth-state-brewing-company-piece-of-future/3094785
    https://untappd.com/b/the-eighth-state-brewing-company-monolith/2841102
    https://untappd.com/b/the-eighth-state-brewing-company-time-immemorial/3321730
    https://untappd.com/b/the-eighth-state-brewing-company-microcosm-ii/3321734

    I personally haven’t had anything from them, but I have heard good things from friends who have tried some of their stuff. Not trying to hype them, don’t even really care about them because so many breweries these days are pumping out amazing brews, just thought to give some prudent information on the brewery for those asking.

    You do realize they don't even care what the answer is, right? You went through too much effort.

    What they do with the information is on them, I don’t care either way. Only took me a couple minutes to pull up all that information and I barely even knew anything about the brewery. I would hope that most people do at least a little research on a brewery (or even more importantly, trying the beers themselves if they have the opportunity) before deciding their opinion on it, but that might be asking for too much.

    Worth noting bottle price has gone down to MT and BL range for this release.

    Man, a lot of angry people in this thread. Why do you care how we spend our money? If you think Horus beers are overpriced, inconsistent or bad, just don't buy them. Why do you have to comment on everything? Move on to the next thread.

    I personally think they're great, and I'm very happy to be a member.

    If you like PB stouts Time is the best I've tried so far. It was better than BA Jiff, BA PB / Marshmallow Popinksi, PB Noche. Highly recommend trying a bottle.

    A collab with a little know brewery that has made killer stouts for a few years, named Little Cottage.

    I mean I'd love to try it but it's a little out of my range value wise haha.

    Also, just because you haven't had 8th state or heard of them doesn't mean they don't make amazing beer. Yes they are "hyped", but for good reason. Cam is making some amazing shit right now. Number of ratings on BA doesn't mean much for breweries that have come to prominence within the last year, since BA has drastically declined in the amount of reviews (especially for more limited beers) recently.

    Yeah they can be a bit hard to come by especially in the last few months. I think I actually had to give up a nice FL bottle BARR for it..
