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!

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.

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!

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.

Tattooed Wonder

We happened across Nik and his amazing beard this week at Double Daughters downtown, where, if you’re lucky, Nik will make you one of his delicious specialty cocktails. When he’s not slinging drinks for his many beard admirers, he’s an aspiring tattoo artist, even being bold enough to tattoo himself. With a beard like this, we’re not surprised.

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.

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.

Bibs and Beard

Oh Matt, why so sad? We’re sure that sweet sideburn beard can
get you a free refill on that beer. When we asked Matt his favorite part about
his sweet manly style, Matt said “I love the respect my facial hair
gets me”. Bet you do, darlin’. Bet you do.
