Genius Johnny

Where else might you encounter a genius than the Apple Store in Cherry Creek? That's where we met Johnny and his impressive beard this week. Johnny, who participated in Movember said he often has a beard and plans to keep it at least until the Spring Equinox. Originally from Lakeland, Florida he's lived in Denver the past three and a half years. He says everyone loves his beard--except his sweetheart--who gives it the thumbs down and wants it gone; we think she'll come around to his beard's awesomeness though. I mean, if almost everyone loves it AND it keeps his face warm, it's so multi-functional. We think that, in itself, is genius.

So Happy to Be Bearded

We were lucky enough to run into Ryan at the Irish Rover a few weeks ago, and Ryan is quite possibly the happiest beard we have met to date! Ryan has had his fantastic beard since Mid-October and credits its fantastic growth to multiple factors: laziness, never straight razor shaving, participating in No Shave November, winter warmth, and growing it out to support his two favorite football teams--the Packers and Broncos--in their playoff pursuits (sadly, no dice for either team this year, but that is certainly no fault of Ryan's kick-ass beard). Ryan has lived in Idaho Springs for just over a year, but used to live in Denver, and before that spent 24 years in Flagstaff, AZ. We're certainly glad he's come to call Colorado home! Ryan, who's single, said most of the ladies like the beard, and with this high of quality he likely won't be on the market for long!

Beard 1, A.L.L 0

Jon gives a whole new meaning to the term 'Bad Ass Beard'. This self described "shady Broncos orange” beard has made one hell of a come back. His poor chin was temporarily naked while Jon kicked the shit out of cancer. Two years later, the beard is back and better than ever! Thanks for sharing, Jon! A beard that can take down A.L.L is one beard you don't want to mess with.

Buffalo Beards

This duo could quite possibly be the manliest, beardest most mountain man-ish find yet! Meet Blair (papa beard) and Jed (son beard). It came as no surprise to us that these beards were raised in a colder climate. They moved from Minnesota to Colorado just under 2 years ago. When asked why, Blair responded "I take it you've never been to Minnesota in the winter". With beards like this we may have to move! This pair has learned that growing beards together creates a special father/son bond that clearly the women of the house don't understand. Blair's nickname from his oldest daughter is ‘chia pet’ (we think ‘bear fighter’ is a better fit). His wife does offer her support; she's just anxiously awaiting a trim. Nice work, men!

Secret Agent Beard

No matter what part of town we're in, we seem to be lucky enough to encounter some amazing bearded men, and last Saturday on South Broadway was no exception to that rule. Zach is a Colorado native we met while he was ordering a pint at the Irish Rover. Zach keeps his beard most of the year and claims it holds lots of secrets--we can only imagine. Zach and his beard live in Capitol Hill and when not out in SoBo he can be found helping people out with their insurance claims at the DMV when they jack up their cars; a noble trade indeed. Zach assured us his lady friend loves his beard--or else she's a talented liar--and that his dad is jealous of his beard skills; he hopes to grow his own beard out once he retires. We're glad Zach's father has his eyes on the prize. And did we mention that cardigan? Yeah, probably didn't have to, but it sure adds to the whole lot of awesome here. Thanks Zach!

One Red Hot Beard

We met Jeter and his fantastic beard based on a hot tip from one of our other local bearded gems that we must check out the bearded gents at Fire on the Mountain restaurant in Highlands, and boy were we glad that we did. Jeter hails from Mississippi, but has called Colorado home for the past two years and landed in Denver in September 2012. He and his sweetheart Jessica had been visiting friends in Vail and Avon for years and finally decided to make the wise choice and move to Colorado . When we encountered Jeter last week, Jessica had just trimmed his beard because it literally was becoming a fire hazard; he had burned it the day before! Jessica noted she loves Jeter's beard, despite the fact he often gets beer in it and that she occasionally finds that he's left her comb in the shower because he's been grooming his glorious beard with it. She doesn't mind though; that's what we call true beard love!

“Th’Ink Tank” Beard

We recently read that according to research, beards can predict whether you’re a badass or board room material. Let us introduce you to the beautiful badass beard of Brian. B of D met Brian when providing some moral support for a friend’s shoulder getting some beautiful work done. Brian told us a razor has not touched his face in over 5 years and his current beard is 5 months old. His favorite part about the beard is “obviously not shaving”. He particularly loves the auburn rich color that it provides. His beard prep routine includes an occasional brush and some added jojoba oil to replace some of the natural oils. Brian has called Denver home for the past 2 years. He hails from North Little Rock, Arkansas and has been tattooing for 8 years. You can find him at Denver’s Th’Ink Tank Tattoo Studio on Broadway where he can create exactly what you’re searching for---that includes beard tattoos. He mentioned a couple of beards that are on his portfolio. He created a centaur with his lovely mug as the head and he also tattooed a bearded lady on his buddy’s kneecap. Perhaps the women behind B of D will one day have the crest permanently placed on their bodies?

Eat Your Veggies Beard

Sometimes when you go grocery shopping on Sunday afternoon you find a lot better things than bread and milk. We happened upon Phil and his awesome--and healthy--beard in the produce section of Sunflower Market in Highlands. Phil's been growing his beard the past 10 years, and he and five of his buddies recently had a competition to see who could grow the best, most badass beard, but Phil said he sadly lost because he had to trim his beard for a big meeting, as he works for an environmental non-profit. In Phil's words his beard was "way out of control." We're thinking we would have approved. Phil's wife loves his beard, and wants him to grow it even longer; she's obviously a very wise woman. We certainly hope Phil grants her request and grows his beard out to its full beard-potential!

We certainly hope Phil grants her request and again grows his beard out to its full beard-potential!

Highschool Sweetheart Beard

Roland from Golden! We also met this beauty of a beard at the Trampled show. Is the a pattern here? Roland's been growing his beard for most of 2012. He also is a lucky man and has the support of his beard lovin' beauty---who he happened to meet in the 7th grade. She did mention that if he ever shaves his face she's out the door. Beard loyalty! He recommends using a dry conditioner oil to help keep his locks in check. With beard spottings like this, the Ogden is sure to get more of our paychecks.

Brother Beard

One-half of the Beards of Denver main cohort traveled to the amazing and ever-exciting state of South Dakota a few weeks ago to celebrate Christmas time, eat entirely too much food, and document a few beards while on location. Mark not only sports an especially impressive beard, he's also the younger brother of one of the ladies behind BOD. Mark's been growing his beard the past few months, and is pictured here with the infamous Wheaten Terrier Daisy, who sports her own impressive beard, which she, like Mark, grows out during Beard Season. While Mark resides in Sioux Falls, South D, he does make appearance in Denver, with his next to be sometime in the early half of 2013. When he's not busy grooming his beard, he's a connoisseur of Chicken Pot Pies. Keep up the great Beard work, Mark and Daisy!
