Dashing Daniel

We encountered Daniel at the famed Denver neighborhood pub/dive bar/karaoke haven Ogden Street South. Daniel and his beard found his way to Denver about six years ago via Brooklyn (and a few other places) and loves living in D-town. When he’s not perfecting his karaoke repertoire, he’s busy with seminary studies. He loves his beard and his long-haired look for many reasons, one of which is because it’s exactly what many people don’t expect from someone studying religions. Daniel was a bit camera shy because he didn’t think his beard was up to Beards of Denver status yet, so we had the lovely Kim pose with him (Kim happens to be one-half of Beards of Denver’s stellar graphic design team–logo coming soon!). We have no doubt that next time we run into Daniel that beautiful beard of his will be much more billowy!

Bearded Guru

We had the pleasure of running into Travis and his great ginger-beard outside of Crooked Stave Artisan Beer Project in Denver, where he was manning the delicious food stand for The Soup Gurus. Travis, though a native of Indianapolis, has lived in the Denver area for seven years, and is always surprised when people ask him if he dyes his handsome beard-mane. If you met him, you might wonder, too; it’s that good-looking. For all you urbanites, you can catch Travis and The Soup Gurus soon during lunch hours downtown near 17th and Tremont; until then keep a look out at Crooked Stave for Travis, his beard, and his and his friends’ amazing soups!

Cup of Joseph

We had the pleasure of meeting J (AKA Joseph) while having a cup of joe at Pablo’s coffee shop in Denver. J has been growing his lengthy beardlocks for about a year and a half, and we wouldn’t expect a beard any less stellar than this from a midwest man; he’s originally from Wisconsin, and, of course, both a Badgers fan and, above all, a Packers fan. A screen printer here in town, we may need to enlist his skills, and his beard, for the making of some forthcoming Beards of Denver merch!

Polkanaut Beard

Ladies and gentlemen, meet Paco, of the wonderful polka/metal band the Polkanauts. Paco loves death metal, bike rides, and will not shy away from participating in a pickled quail egg eating contest. He’s had his glorious beard for about 11 years, though currently his beard is a bit shorter than his norm. We’ll be sure to document its growth progress at the next Polkanauts show!

Gobble Gobble

In wouldn’t truly be Thanksgiving without a Thanksgiving beard for you all! We ran into Scott and his great Turkey-Day beard at the Turkey Trot in Denver Thanksgiving morning. He’s rockin’ that turkey headdress, those wayfarer glasses, and that beard like nobody’s business; we’d share some cranberry sauce and stuffing with him not only on Thanksgiving, but on any day of the year.

Brewery Beard Part 2

The first thing we noticed when walking into the Copper Kettle Brewing Company should’ve been the several delicious brews on tap, but, unsurprisingly, our Beards of Denver eyes honed in on the handsome beard Paul was sporting. Paul is relatively new to Copper Kettle and to the Denver area, moving here in recent months for the peace of the mountains and away from the bustle of Orlando, Florida. Paul’s worked in the brewing business for quite some time, and was a definite asset in helping us choose which brews to sample. If you go to Copper Kettle, make sure to tell Paul hi, and try the Mexican Chocolate Stout while you can still get it–it was divine!

Brewery Beard Part 1

A quick Google search for “breweries nearby” the other night led Beards of Denver on an impromptu trip to Copper Kettle Brewing Company at 1338 S. Valentia Street, and put us in contact with two profoundly interesting bearded men. Pictured here is Jeremy, originally from North Carolina, who started Copper Kettle with his wife Kristen about a year and a half ago, and trust us, the beer, the service, and the beards were top notch! Focusing on making several different kinds of beer rather than distributing a large quantity of one or two beers has already forced Copper Kettle to (happily) expand their physical space in their relatively short existence, and they enjoy a great local following (several people were in the tap room and coming in and out to fill their pre-Thanksgiving growlers!) Go check them out, for the beer and, of course, for the beards!

Cheers Beard!

We had the pleasure to meet Issac while at Prost Brewing Company, where he works. From Buena Vista originally, he started growing his beard recently (in other words, as soon as the weather changed, aka the start of Beard Season) because he’s lazy (his words, not ours) and loves to work at Prost partly because his beard is so welcome there. He told us that recently a friend of his was in a bar and overheard a group of young women say “Let’s get out of here, there’s not any bearded dudes.” Obviously, you won’t have that problem if you go to Prost, ladies! Cheers!

Jazzy Duo

We literally danced into these two darling beards at El Chapultepec in downtown Denver recently. Chris and Rob may just be beginning to grow out their beards for Beard Season, but we have no doubt they’ll be appropriately burly and brusque in no time! Keep a look out for these two at El Chapultepec and generally around Denver to scout their progress.

Distinguished Gentelman

What’s there to say about this beard but WOW. Tyler Shannon from Seattle earned major props for his well-maintained verdi beard at the national competition, coming in second in a very competitive category. Apparently there’s a lot of time to keep a beard looking great while staying out of all that Seattle rain. One fan’s reaction to Tyler’s amazing beard sums it up perfectly: STELLAR, she said of his amazing man. Just STELLAR.
