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!

In Phil’s words his beard was “way out of control.” We’re thinking we would have approved. Phil’s wife Keenan 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 again grows his beard out to its full beard-potential!

PBR Proud Beards

We met Alex Townsend and Matt Kiernan at the Ogden Theater on Thursday while they were buying PBR tallboys and preparing to enjoy the Trampled by Turtles show. Matt (right) is a snowboarder who keeps his beard only during Beard Season to keep his face warm. Alex (left) finished his stint in the Air Force in Summer 2009 and has enjoyed the freedom to grow his beard as full and long as he'd like since then. We just missed seeing it even burlier, as he had to trim back his awesome beard for his sister's wedding recently.Both Matt and Alex attest to the fact their mothers are not fans of their beards but we respectfully disagree--all that handsomeness is even better with beards! Matt and Alex work together at Trulia real estate in advertising, and we're sure they don't have any trouble selling property with the help of their amazing beards. Thanks guys!

Beards of Banjos and Brews

Of course we weren’t done with the Trampled beards!
It was a pleasure meeting “Woody” (left) and “D” (right) last week at the show.
We know (perhaps from research) that you can find Woody and his beard slinging brew at the one and only Denver Beer Co. He told us his favorite part about having a beard is the lack of attention it needs and the amount of attention it gets. He must have good taste in women because his girlfriend loves his facial fur. Believe it or not, more milk than beer ends up getting caught in his beard.
D’s from Duluth, MN and is a bluegrass man through and through. We quickly learned that “D” is a man of few words. When asked about what he’d like to say for his beard he told us, “pretty sure the beard speaks for itself”. Sure does, my friend.

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.

True Dude

The only thing that could possibly compliment this beard more would be a white Russian milk stache. This fine specimen is Ray from Lakewood. This particular beard is only 3 months young. You can typically find Ray and his beard at a Denver concert venue or up in the Rockies for some alpine love. He’s been a Mary Jane-er (obviously) his whole life but is giving some love to Loveland this ski season. When asked what the biggest joy is that his beard brings him, he told us he loves that it gets him on a lot of cool websites. Best answer yet. We asked him about his grooming schedule and he told us that he let’s the beard be as it will, "the beard must abide”.

Old Testament Beard

It's true what they say, everything grows better on the Vine. It was beard Mecca at Vine Street last night, that's where we met this beard of Biblical proportions, Laban. This beard was born and raised in Ohio and has been calling Denver home for the past 8 years. He keeps his 8 month old beard in check by doing nothing. He's a no-maintenance, true mountain man. When asked if people like to talk about his beard, his response: "No, just you, actually." We don't believe him. He has a lot of support for his beard, his wife is a huge fan and he told us he loves Colorado because no one judges the bearded man. No we don't, Ladan, we only admire.

Juan Ponce de Beard

Happy hump day! Boy did we have a rip roaring good time ogling the bearded beauties on Broadway last weekend. Here's Taylor, we found him enjoying some delicious brews at the Hornet. Taylor got to Denver as fast as possible from his home state of Florida. We feel ya, buddy. Less white linen, more manly beards is our motto. His current beard is about 3 months old and he loves that it opens the door for conversation. He strives to make the volume of his beard equal throughout and he does this by only shampooing it on occasion to keep the beard fro in check. He'd like to suggest that all men have the potential to grow a beard and that they should just go for it and see what happens. We agree!

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.

That’s One Sweets’ Beard

We met Sweets also last week at Goosetown Tavern where he was slinging drinks and putting up with the rowdy and raucous bingo crowd. Sweets is a Denverite through and through and has been growing his beard for about two and a half years; it was three inches longer until recently but his beard was getting too long and so he was forced to scale it back some. His fiance is in favor of his beard, and we definitely have to agree with her good taste. Sweets plays up his beard in costume as well, as he was a Viking this year for Halloween, which seems a very fitting choice. Make sure to stop by Goosetown soon, have a drink, play some bingo, and admire Sweets awesome beard!

Bingo Beards

We met Hunter (right), Austin (left), and their neighbor and bingo sidekick Mallory, at Goosetown Tavern during Bingo night last week. Austin and Hunter were college roommates at CU Boulder and now they and neighbor Mallory reside in the Congress Park neighborhood in Denver. Hunter started growing his awesome beard during No Shave November last month, and it has grown into a fantastic Decem-beard. Austin began growing his Amish-like beard a year and a half ago, and his beard has been inspired by mystical/magical direction, as he swears he sucked on a dying unicorn's horn and its last wish was for Austin to grow an Amish beard, so, naturally, he obliged (you can't turn down a dying unicorn's last wish, after all). In addition, Austin, who grew up in Southern California but was born in Colorado, swears the unicorn presented him with a bouquet of lilies, a packet of glitter, and a lifetime supply of pink and purple Nerds, not to mention blessed him with 7 fortunes in 2013, which one, obviously, is to grow an amazing beard. We're not sure what the whole truth is, but we can vouch that both of their beards were awesome. And next time at Bingo, they're sure to win!
