The Real Matt Woods

We found Matt while enjoying some delicious brew at the Denver Beer Co. He was serenading the suds while on tour in Denver this past weekend. When asked if we could present his lovely beard to millions (millions) of online viewers, he said (in the best Knoxville accent you can think up) “but this beard’s not from Denver, it’s from Tennessee”. We told him beards that are just passing through are also worth celebrating. You can check out his sweet music at http://www.therealmattwoods.com. Don’t ever let anyone get near his beard with a pair of scissors, Matt said that like Samson, he holds all of his strength and talent in his beard. Rock on, Shemesh.

Kindergarten Cop

We’d like to introduce you to the man teaching the future beards of tomorrow—this is Micheal, a kindergarten teacher. Yep, how jealous are you that you didn’t have a teacher like this raging bearded fool? We certainly are! Micheal came to denver from Michigan and says that he really loves the volume of his beard. Get loud, teacher man.

Beard Pocket

Nicolas K….nice work, my fair feathered friend. Those beautiful locks perfectly compliment your kick ass beard. Nicolas is a big fan of function. He told us that not only does he appreciate the warmth that his beard provides to his face like a soft blankie, but that his beard is also there to aid in a possible pocketless situation. He can hide anything in that nest—pulled out a couple of cigs to demonstrate for us last night. We’ll know where to search next time we loose something.

Beard Shark Jim

Thank God we have a photo to document that this sweet beard hunk really exists. Friends of BofD, meet Jim. What a treat to see this beard out on a Friday night. He’s a Denver native and has been growing his beard since birth. He told us that his beard really just “gives him something to do”—-and that approximately 8-10 women per week come up to touch his face. Oh, and he wanted us to mention that he’s into charity work, mustache rides are always free. Thanks, Jim!

Cat-like reflexes

Craig may look the part of the quintessential bearded mountain man, but in truth he’s a Denver urbanite by way of Illinois. He values his beard because it’s steeped in American Indian tradition (he can fill you in more about that), while also acting like his feelers, similar to the whiskers of a cat. No matter what, though, Craig’s was one, if not the, most pronounced beard on East Colfax tonight.

Indie Beard

It might not be too much of a surprise to find some amazing beards at an Indie Rock Show, and Josh had one of the best tonight at the Bluebird Theater. When asked what the benefits of his beard are, Josh noted a high intimidation factor, it’s obvious lovability, and it’s practicality–it keeps him warm as he bikes around D-Town. Keep a look out for his great beard while we’re you’re out cycling around town; you won’t regret it.

This Beards for You

We met this magical duo in the most appropriate setting possible: Partying their beards off at the Telluride Bluegreass Festival. You can typically find these two boisterous bearded men out with Six Pack Sports–they bowl, they broomball, they even partake in human foosball. No one can quite grow a beard like an Andrew can…

Bird House

We ran into Joel while he was in deep bearded thought at
Denver’s natural beard retreat, Sancho’s Broken Arrow. This St. Louis born
bearded beauty told us his favorite part about his beard is that “the
birds can live there”. Sometimes it’s best not to ask too many
questions and just enjoy the bearded bliss.

Rocky Mountain Ryan

This boy scout knows a few things about survival; he never
sets out on his snowshoes without his trusty beard and an Irish
coffee. Ryan finds his beard to be his best accessory when out in the
wilderness- he can use it for kindling, it keeps him warm, and it also
intimidates wild animals. We’d want him on our camping trip.

Desert Bearded Duo

Meet Clint and JP!  These two Denver transplants arrived
from Arizona last year. When asked why they moved up north their
answer was simple: It’s just too damn hot to grow beards in Tucson.  JP will let you
comb his beardlocks anytime you want, just make sure to order a
“Nowhere to Run” next time you’re at Stueben’s—he’s the original
cocktail artist. Clint loves to support his buddy and typically keeps
a barstool warm. 2-for-1 beard time?! Yes please. We’ll have another.
