Holy Cow

New year, new beard, new bitch. Same onesie. It is with great pleasure that we introduce you all to Joe. Ladies, you're welcome. This hot piece did us all a favor and became a Denver resident a few years back when he started to realize his talents were a bit too much for his home town of Effingham to handle. Joe has won multiple cottage cheese eating competitions and is Royal Crest’s most valued customer. Any man that can pull off a onesie can surely grow a burly beard. Joe, you really add a special something to Denver and the bearded community. Keep your eye out for this one, you can typically find him pigeon hunting, tap dancing or babysitting kittens.

A Bearded Observation

Boozy shakes & manly beards. We love Steuben's! While doing our bearded due diligence and checking up on the progress on one previously documented bartending beard (more on that later), we stumbled (perhaps literally) upon this awesome view. Thanks to his smokin girlfriend (sorry, ladies) we have some better than iphone quality photos to display. Bryan told us he's been growing this dream beard on and off for the past 12 years. He combs it whenever possible, usually in his cube, and whatever product goes in his hair goes in his beard. He considers his beard his "contemplation companion". We also learned that this beard is considered a local celebrity and he's often asked to have its picture taken. Needless to say, he wasn't too shocked when approached by us...only that this site wasn't created sooner. Nice work, Bryan!

All in the Family Beard

Josh was another beard spotted at the Denver Beer Festivus in Civic Center Park on Sunday.  Pictured with Josh and his amazing beard are his father on the left, who was visiting from Lincoln, Nebraska for the weekend (and beard a striking resemblance to Sean Connery), and Josh’s brother on the right, Jarrett, who greatly assisted in Josh’s beard interview. We learned Josh has had his beard for the past decade, and has been growing a beard since he was 15 years old.  Jarrett used to have a rockin’ beard, too, but because of fear of bird attacks he cut back.  Due to Jarrett’s top-notch interviewing skills, we learned that Josh has never been attacked by flying objects because of his beard, but he did recently have a sparrow trapped in his house and it came perilously close to nesting in Josh’s fantastic beard.  Luckily, it seems he was left unscathed. But, birds beware: we can’t imagine the beard power if all three of these gentlemen grew their beards out!

Big Choice Beard

Zach was another bearded gem we encountered at the Denver Beer Festivus on Saturday. Zach is a brewer at Big Choice Brewing in Broomfield, and started growing his beard about three months ago when he decided to break into the brewing industry. He’s still a newbie to the Denver area, being here about a year, arriving via Dallas. Obviously, local beard fans are very lucky he made the switch to D-town. Zach boldly declared he is never going to stop growing his beard until he retires, or dies first. We admire such beard dedication!

Metal Brewery Beard, It’s TRVE

We had the pleasure to meet Nick at the Denver Beer Festivus sponsored by Imbibe.com on Saturday in Denver. Nick is the proprietor at TRVE Brewing Company located at Second and Broadway, which specializes in making great brews AND playing metal music. Nick, originally from the east coast, started growing his beard around 2006, and has had his current beard about six months. His favorite thing about his beard is the attention it gets him, and deservedly so!  TRVE Brewing Company is currently open Wednesday through Saturday, but in January you can enjoy a brew there on Sundays, too.  We encourage you to drop by sooner than later—it’s not everywhere you can enjoy a great beer, metal music, and admire an awesome beard.

Beard Lust for the Holidays

We happened upon Will and his long and luxurious beard on Friday night at the SIE Film Center (formerly the Colfax Film Center) where he works.  He’s been growing his beard for about 13 months, and again, laziness is a key factor to the production of Will’s awesome beard, not-to-mention he’s blessed with exceptionally speedily beard growth. Originally from Southern Illinois, Will, who lives in Denver now, told us his beard is currently the longest it’s ever been, and his lovely wife Rebecca certainly approves; at their wedding last year they even played the song “Beard Lust” by the band Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head. Trust us, you should queue up that song ASAP, it’s totally worth a listen!  Thanks Will!

Un Hombre de Barba

You know you're going to have an awesome pie eating experience if this beard has anything to do with it. We had the pleasure of meeting Brian at Kaos Pizza last weekend. He's been growing this burly beard for the past 2 1/2 years. When we asked what his bearded beauty secrets were, he immediately took out a comb from his back pocket and showed us his dread prevention. He also only uses Aveda products on his locks. He enjoys the different colors that his beard displays---and he also likes that people often mistake him for Fidel Castro. Liberty for beards or death!

Bearded Beer Trafficker

We had the pleasure of meeting Dan and admiring his awesome beard while trying the Wynkoop's Rocky Mountain Oyster Stout beer at the Bacon and Beer Fest at Mile High Station Sunday (trust us--the beer was extremely tasty and the beard extraordinarily rad). When Dan isn't hocking Wynkoop beers at the Bacon and Beer fest, he's busy with sales for Wynkoop around the Denver area. He's been growing his beard since October 1st and plans to shave it April 1st, and we'll be sure to have a progress report for you at that time--we can't wait to see the final results!

Wits End, White Stripes

We met Scott, self-professed Owner, Brewer, and Dream at Wits End Brewing Company in Denver at the Beer and Bacon Fest at Mile High Station in Denver on Sunday. Scott's been growing his impressive beard since August, and when asked if the coloration was natural his response was "Do I look like a guy who'd dye his beard?" It's that amazing natural talent we love and appreciate here at Beards of Denver. Originally from Seattle, Scott's been in Denver about 11 years and we highly recommend going to Wits End to say hi to Scott, admire his beard, and sample Wits End's amazing coffee beer--you won't be disappointed in the coffee or the beard!

Veteran Beardee

Beards of Denver fans, meet JJ, a veteran beardee who has been growing his beard for 30, yes 30, years. Every year JJ dons his beard from October 1st through April 1st, and then on April 1st gets his one hair cut a year. A carpenter by trade and whiskey connoisseur by hobby, we certainly can't wait to see the progress his beard has made in April. Cheers JJ!
