FT: KOS - Pulpit Rock ISO: Time Dilation - Eighth State

I'm amazed Time Dilation still commands its current value. Would think you can get away with asking for a plus here. Good luck!

 

what do you mean by this? One of my friends did a big 25 bottle blind non adjunct BA stout share and TD was top 3

 

One of the wonderful things about beer is that everyone has different tastes. What may really appeal to you may not be what someone else prefers. Personally I think 8th is one of the most overrated breweries producing currently. I have tried several BA and non-BA offerings from them and have yet to enjoy one. I don't understand the hype or suggested trade value for the beers they make but as always, to each there own.

 

Just that when I see it listed, it seems to be going for far more than a bottle like Cypher, for example, despite a lower UT rating (not that there's too much stock in that, but it's a basic barometer). 8th State values have always struck me as more arbitrary than most, but to see TD traded alongside BBT was just...surprising, I guess.

 

As someone who has actually enjoyed 8th State beers, I couldn't agree with you more here. Their BA stouts, in my experience, are definitely unique (I remember Cypher in particular as a sort of 'stout liqueur' if that makes sense lol), but to trade so highly? I've never gotten it. To their credit, the locals are one of the most rabid bases out there in terms of keeping up the hype, so that's largely what I've come to attribute that to.

 

Seconding the stout liqueur thing on Cypher, it was super unique. Part of the high trade value is that they're super small, especially relative to the other big names in the stout game (Side Project is incredible but they but a lot more beer than you would think). They make fantastic beer though even if it leans towards the sweet side of the spectrum. I haven't had TD but everyone I know that has had it thought it was incredible, and while Cypher was dope the people who I know that had both preferred TD

 

Did some digging on FB, not a lot of recent movement on these two but they're pretty close in value it seems.

 

I've noticed TD hover around 300 still, while Cypher has lingered below 200. Not trying to get into semantics too deeply here, though, as those could be outliers

 

I meant KOS and TD. Was bringing it back to OP's original post

 

Ahhh I see. Yeah, for the most part, I'd say the difference is negligible. Though it does seem fewer people are moving Kos.

 

I’m game to do this 1:1. Never got to try Kos.

 

It’s wonderful
