Chip Off the Old Block

We were lucky enough to happen upon Chip and his red beard at Don’s Mixed Drinks this weekend. Originally hailing from Delaware, he’s been a Denverite since 2005, and has been growing his bad-ass beard since 2006. Chip obviously loves his beard because it provides coverage for his face, which we were quick to point out is beautiful, to which Chip responded that he can’t imagine what he looks like without it. Though his family hates his beard, his love for it triumphs and hence, the beard stays.  Hemingway once asked, “What would your life be if described in six words?” Chip’s response was: “Can’t picture myself without my beard.” We’re certainly glad he keeps it around.

Shaving’s for Suckers

We had the pleasure of encountering Jordan and his gorgeous ginger beard while he was having late night cocktails with his friends Liz and Shawn at the West Wash Park neighborhood pub The Spot. A landman for an oil company, Jordan rocks his beard with pride, resisting pressure from others who think he ought to show off his handsome face sans beard (a ludicrous suggestion as far as we’re concerned). A fourth generation Coloradan, Jordan has a fraternal twin brother who also rocks a beard and we can’t wait until the day we can feature them both! He defiantly declared to us “Shaving’s for Suckers!” We at Beards of Denver couldn’t agree more.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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…
