Old Testament Beard

It's true what they say, everything grows better on the Vine. It was beard Mecca at Vine Street last night, that's where we met this beard of Biblical proportions, Laban. This beard was born and raised in Ohio and has been calling Denver home for the past 8 years. He keeps his 8 month old beard in check by doing nothing. He's a no-maintenance, true mountain man. When asked if people like to talk about his beard, his response: "No, just you, actually." We don't believe him. He has a lot of support for his beard, his wife is a huge fan and he told us he loves Colorado because no one judges the bearded man. No we don't, Ladan, we only admire.

Juan Ponce de Beard

Happy hump day! Boy did we have a rip roaring good time ogling the bearded beauties on Broadway last weekend. Here's Taylor, we found him enjoying some delicious brews at the Hornet. Taylor got to Denver as fast as possible from his home state of Florida. We feel ya, buddy. Less white linen, more manly beards is our motto. His current beard is about 3 months old and he loves that it opens the door for conversation. He strives to make the volume of his beard equal throughout and he does this by only shampooing it on occasion to keep the beard fro in check. He'd like to suggest that all men have the potential to grow a beard and that they should just go for it and see what happens. We agree!

Holy Cow

New year, new beard, new bitch. Same onesie. It is with great pleasure that we introduce you all to Joe. Ladies, you're welcome. This hot piece did us all a favor and became a Denver resident a few years back when he started to realize his talents were a bit too much for his home town of Effingham to handle. Joe has won multiple cottage cheese eating competitions and is Royal Crest’s most valued customer. Any man that can pull off a onesie can surely grow a burly beard. Joe, you really add a special something to Denver and the bearded community. Keep your eye out for this one, you can typically find him pigeon hunting, tap dancing or babysitting kittens.

A Bearded Observation

Boozy shakes & manly beards. We love Steuben's! While doing our bearded due diligence and checking up on the progress on one previously documented bartending beard (more on that later), we stumbled (perhaps literally) upon this awesome view. Thanks to his smokin girlfriend (sorry, ladies) we have some better than iphone quality photos to display. Bryan told us he's been growing this dream beard on and off for the past 12 years. He combs it whenever possible, usually in his cube, and whatever product goes in his hair goes in his beard. He considers his beard his "contemplation companion". We also learned that this beard is considered a local celebrity and he's often asked to have its picture taken. Needless to say, he wasn't too shocked when approached by us...only that this site wasn't created sooner. Nice work, Bryan!

Beauty Beard

Hello Beauty Bar! Needless to say, we were pleasantly surprised to meet this fair feathered friend at a bar we thought was known for mani's and martinis. Tucker told us this beard just had his 6 month birthday. He has his own beauty regimen-he shampoos, conditions and combs his beard and he particularly loves the flash 'o grey that it displays. He also appreciates that he is able to conceal his facial expressions. Nice try, Tucker---we can tell you're grinning with pride.

Un Hombre de Barba

You know you're going to have an awesome pie eating experience if this beard has anything to do with it. We had the pleasure of meeting Brian at Kaos Pizza last weekend. He's been growing this burly beard for the past 2 1/2 years. When we asked what his bearded beauty secrets were, he immediately took out a comb from his back pocket and showed us his dread prevention. He also only uses Aveda products on his locks. He enjoys the different colors that his beard displays---and he also likes that people often mistake him for Fidel Castro. Liberty for beards or death!

A Winning Beard Indeed

We have another visiting beard to display/celebrate. Meet Mr. Eric Evans from Salt Lake. We met him and his kick ass hockey crew at the DU/Badger hockey game. Eric's been growing this gnarly beard since June. He told his team that he would grow it until they lost....they obviously have yet to lose. He loves that people think he can lift heavy things. He also gave us his secret recipe for his style--he uses Carmex with a touch of saliva for his mustache. Yum!

Snazzy Zazzy

Nothing better than getting Modelo via drive through (God bless Merica!) and having this sweet beard serve it to you! Zazzy's been growing this beaut for 2 months. When asked what he loves about it he said, "Everything--the warmth, the compliments. I love it all". We asked him where this beard originated from and he said "up the street". You can't get more local than that. Zazzy's a big fan of facial hair and looks forward to celebrating all winter long. He informed us some pretty important upcoming holidays. First there was Movember, now Decembeard, next is Manuary and then Februhairy. This winter's looking up!

Meet Wil, a Lakewood original. Wil has a lot of support for his burly beard–one of his friend’s called him up after stumbling upon the B of D site for she knew his beard must be showcased. Wil told us that the sole reason for growing this beauty is because it “generates all of his super powers and collective knowledge”. He should probably be wearing a cape. Thanks Wil!

Homeless or Hot?

Here’s a whole lotta beard to get your hump day off to a good start! Meet Jason. The look on his face is one of shock–he was in disbelief after moving here from Tucson to find that he couldn’t wear his tank top year round and that the sweat band was not considered a wardrobe staple. Jason told us that he grew this beauty, his “freedom beard”, once he got out of the army. He told us, “beards are natural, shaving is not. Some of history’s greatest men had this figured out, but for some reason they’re a rarity these days”. Word. His favorite part of his beard is that his circle of friends gets bigger each day– “having a beard and running into someone else with one…..you become friends instantly. You share a bond that the beardless will never know”. Jason admits to falling off the wagon early this year—“I had no intentions of shaving it off, ever, until one day some dude comes up to me on the bus and offers me soap and razors from his church. I had no idea what he was talking about until he said “it’s ok man, I used to be homeless too”. I went straight home and shaved it off.” That was one of the saddest stories we’d ever heard. Jason said he instantly regretted that decision and quickly removed all sharp objects from his house. Welcome back, our bearded friend.
