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.

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.

Cat-like reflexes

Craig may look the part of the quintessential bearded mountain man, but in truth he’s a Denver urbanite by way of Illinois. He values his beard because it’s steeped in American Indian tradition (he can fill you in more about that), while also acting like his feelers, similar to the whiskers of a cat. No matter what, though, Craig’s was one, if not the, most pronounced beard on East Colfax tonight.

Indie Beard

It might not be too much of a surprise to find some amazing beards at an Indie Rock Show, and Josh had one of the best tonight at the Bluebird Theater. When asked what the benefits of his beard are, Josh noted a high intimidation factor, it’s obvious lovability, and it’s practicality–it keeps him warm as he bikes around D-Town. Keep a look out for his great beard while we’re you’re out cycling around town; you won’t regret it.

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.

Rocky Mountain Ryan

This boy scout knows a few things about survival; he never
sets out on his snowshoes without his trusty beard and an Irish
coffee. Ryan finds his beard to be his best accessory when out in the
wilderness- he can use it for kindling, it keeps him warm, and it also
intimidates wild animals. We’d want him on our camping trip.

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.

Lumberjack Ben

Mama always told me, never trust a man with an axe in his
car, but we might make an exception for this flannel wearing beard
master. Originally coming to the Mile High City from Detroit, you can
now find this lumberjack slinging drinks at a popular Denver tavern.

Red rockin

Adam is not only our favorite Red Rocks bartender, is not only the owner of an amazing tandem bike with golden spokes and velour seats, but he also brings it here with both the amazing beard AND the handlebar mustache. Be still our beard-bleeding hearts.
