Ill stache

We found this extra special Imperial stache pouring some delicious ESB beer brewed by your very own Denver Beer Co last Sunday night. Nick’s mustache needed to be celebrated, so he’s our honorary guest stache of the month. Nick left the treacherous terrain of Illinois several years back. It was on his journey west that he decided to let the stache do as it pleased, and we thank him for it every day. Nick is currently in the process of becoming even more distinguished; he will soon be a cicerone. Nick, we’re pretty sure you can just show up for the test, give them a peak at your upper lip, and the title is yours. Do yourself a favor, head on over to the DBC, order a beer or seven (and a jumbo pretzel) and let Nick fill your curious brain with all you’ll ever need to know about brews and what mustache wax to buy.

Bathtime Beard

We found this festive beard celebrating turkey day in the most traditional way, at Don’s Mixed Drinks. Who knew carpeted dive bars attracted such manly men?! Liam said he loves that his beard makes him look like a mountain man and that he also appreciates the variety of opinions the fur creates—he gets reactions from “nice beard” to “get a job!”. He also wanted to mention that he loves bath salts. Yup.

Holy Joely

Joel Garland Bekken. Real name, real beard. Our endless reasearch has so far proved that you can find amazing beards in Denver pretty much anywhere. We found him at an art exhibit on Santa Fe. When he’s not appreciating fine photography, this man lives the life of a stereotypical beard–he lives up in the hills and works at Devil’s Thumb Ranch. He said he loves his beard because it keeps him warm during those cold winter nights and that it’s just “too un-manly not to have a beard”. We agree.

Marky Mark

This isn’t the only time you’ll see Mark, he’s promised a burlier beard in the near future and we want to see the transformation! You may be as suprised as we were to learn that these lovely locks take some TLC. Mark says he won’t dare use any other product but Kiss My Face on his manly mug. You can typically find this bearded bear either saving lives, dear hunting, roller skating or taking his adorable family with him on a bluegrass advernture.

King of Beards

We present to you Mr. Ryan King. This Denver native loves three things about his facial hair: it provides cranial balance when he’s jamming in his band ‘Champagne Charlie’, the ladies love it and he can braid it. We seem to be finding some common themes here…

Bearded Kitten

We met this bearded concert goer at the Bluebird last weekend. This newlywed wears his adorable Ozzy shirt in an effort to ward off beard adoring women. He loves his beard because he “can hide stuff in it”, he loves his wife because she “pets him like a cat until he falls asleep at night”. Thank you for your honesty, bearded Tally.

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!
