people steal everything not nailed down at a lot of festivals. My sister in law puts on a multi-million dollar charity event ($350,000 for a single bottle of wine) around here that is sponsored by buffalo trace. Every year for the last 5 I've have to stop an individual or a small group from stealing the actual buffalo statues from buffalo trace. They just try to walk them out to the door like they brought them in.
You'd be amazed what you can get away with just by acting like you're supposed to be doing it. I'm honestly surprised at how infrequently this sort of thing happens given how easy it is and how sociopathic the beer scene is these days.
What is the name of this HF group and who runs it?Separate post for this:
I've left about two dozen Facebook groups already today and continue to drop out of them as I see them float into my feed. After an unfortunate incident this weekend (where I was not part of what happened, but stupidly chose to amplify it on social media) I've resolved to stay a lot more out of online beer drama and histrionics, particularly in terms of boosting the signal by sharing and re-posting things. I'll still dump relatively harmless stuff like bad trade offers into the appropriate thread, but I think staying out of the various personal drama/nonsense, at least outside of private conversations, is a good idea. And while I don't necessarily object to the online pile-ons which have occurred recently on breweries that decided to step in it on social media (Dystopian, Scofflaw, etc. brought the bad attention on themselves), I won't be joining in. In that respect, I also think it's worth everyone's time to ask "is this going to have a negative effect on a brewery/3rd party who doesn't deserve it?" when thinking about posting or sharing stories about online beer/mead/etc personal disputes and histrionics. On the surface, it might seem fine to call out some shitlords for getting into a fight over mules at a release or whatever, but the breweries usually didn't ask for that kind of crap and they wind up having to deal with trolling and stupidity after the fact simply for being the site of immature behavior.
But don't worry, I won't quit your dumpster fire HF group...for now.
Also, none of this applies to me personally, so continue to post sleeping pics, use me in memes, etc. All of that stuff is in good fun. *insert julianwinking.gif here*
Hill Farmstead Trading Group is easily the best Facebook beer group in the world. There's honestly no one else remotely in their class, in my estimation. These memes are so much better than anything else I've had, in their styles, and this is true across so many different types of posts. It's just unbelievable the degree to which I enjoy these posts more than other representations of the same meme. I don't say this lightly either. It would be convenient if I didn't need to create numerous fake accounts for my favorite Facebook beer group, but that's just the reality of the situation.But don't worry, I won't quit your dumpster fire HF group...for now.
Not in the slightest. I will absolutely never bring local staples to a share again though.

Reconsidering how much I have had to drink at this all inclusive resort when everyone orders a round of shots.
