In the bearding together

Neil Moherman (left) from Ashland, Ohio and Bryan Fulk (right) from Los Angeles, California have been best friends far longer than they’ve been able to grow beards–their moms were girl scout troop leaders together in Ohio when they were kids. Neil, who entered the Full Beard, Natural competition, came out with top honors–earning the prestigious Gold Medal–and has been growing his long, blonde, beardlocks for five years. Both Neil and Bryan went to the World Championships in Anchorage, Alaska a few years ago, and got hooked on bearding. While Bryan competed in the Verdi Beard category in Anchorage, he was in Vegas solely for moral support this time around. All we know is that we’d hang out with this dashing bearded duo anytime they’re around.

Serious Sideburns

MJ Johnson from the Minneapolis Beard & Moustache Club does not mess around. Those sideburns were the most serious we had ever seen, and for his amazing efforts he was awarded third place in his category. Well earned, Mr. Johnson. Well earned.

Cooky Colorado

Don’t worry, Beards of Denver fans. We didn’t forget our Colorado love when we were in Vegas. Chris Olsen hails from outside of Boulder and was rockin’ this beard in the Sideburns Category at nationals. We loved his cooky Dr. Seuss-esque persona, and of course, his awesome beard. If you want to catch Chris and his sideburn beard out on the town, check out TIM the Band–which is Time in Motion music, a jazz fusion band. With a beard like that, they are sure not to disappoint. Check out the tunes here.

Tie-Dyed and Terrific

Allen Haumann from Boise, Idaho was one of our favorite characters of the entire competition. He started growing his beard, modeled here with curlers that were sure to show off his beard’s full beauty, because he and his friend Rebecca saw coverage of the international competition in Anchorage, Alaska a few years back, and she challenged him to grow a beard. Three years later, Allen did just that, and won the state competition in Idaho in August. “Shaving is evil” is his motto. We’re right on board with you there, Allen.

Seattle Strength

Nathan (left) and Feras (right) are two sassy strong men from Seattle who sported some seriously stellar beards. Nathan is a veteran of competition, this being is fourth overall and first nationals, and since he’s always had the gift of growing a beard naturally he sought out to capitalize on his talent. Feras, rockin’ that orange suit like nobody’s business, decided after college he needed to grow a beard because it was time to become a man. And we couldn’t love those glorious beards more, guys. Trust us.

Spiral Wonder

The genius behind this spectacular spiral-curled beard is none other than Paul Steinmiller from Colchester, Connecticut. This was Paul’s second time competing at nationals in the freestyle beard competition. He’s been growing his long facial locks for 28 years, though they’re normally tamed back into a braid for his work as a machinist; after all, it’d be a travesty for this amazing beard to get caught in any sort of equipment and be compromised! Paul and his delightful wife Debbie have known each other 17 years, and she’s never seen his chin, and never wants to. We don’t want to either, Debbie. We don’t want to, either.

Bearded Buds

Nick and Nolan are bearded buddies from Southern California who had a great showing at Nationals. Nick, holdings the Jamo on the left, spends his days molding young minds as a substitute teacher and Nolan keeps things working for the good of the people both on the railroad and as an electrician. They’ve been growing their beards for six months and one year, respectively. We can’t wait to see the progress that’s been made by next year!

Guest ‘Stache

Even though we contain most of our mad love for beards here at Beards of Denver, occasionally we spread that love to a great Stand Alone Mustache. Wesley from Nashville came out to Vegas to compete in the Dali mustache category. He’s a welder and printer in Tennessee and decided to grow his stache for the simple joy of it all. Pretty awesome if we do say so ourselves

Beards of Denver Goes to Vegas

Sometimes, you have to travel for a cause. In our case, that cause was the National Beard and Mustache Championships in Las Vegas, Nevada on Sunday, November 11th. Over 300 handsome devils competed in 18 categories for the best beard and ‘stache in all the (U.S.) land. If you’re curious about the results, you can check them out here.

Several of the hairy contestants are documented over in our facebook album from the event, but we will also give you some individual features here. Hope you enjoy! We certainly did.

Below, a little taste of the competition.

These two were a trip!

Perhaps my second favorite beard of all the beards there. Mike from Idaho.

I didn’t meet this bearded wonder, but sure wish I would have.

The cutest couple there! Oana and Jeff from Pennsylvania with his amazing, amazing Garibaldi beard.
