Spike Ball Beard

It's not everyday you meet someone with an off-the-charts beard who also has a serious love of Spike Ball (if you haven't played, or heard of it, check it out! Hours of fun to be had). But then we met Nathan, who rocks the beard and harbors a deep love of Spike Ball. Nathan has had his beard off and on since college. He dated a woman in the past who told him he wasn't "Brad Pitt attractive" because he didn't have a chin; and so from that comment was born many years of carefully groomed beards! Nathan now is dating a wonderful woman, Catherine, for a few years ad she declared her love for his beard and had "no complaints". Smart woman!

Obviously, like the ladies of B of D, she knows a good thing when she sees it!

Poli Sci Beard

Beards of Denver fans, meet Brian from Boulder. We met Brian, and his lovely wife Kate, at a recent house party in Denver's South City Park neighborhood. Brian, who is a Political Science PhD candidate at CU Boulder, has had his amazing ginger beard about 8 years, the past 7 of them being in Colorado. When asked the most memorable comment anyone has made about his beard, a recent evaluation from a student came to mind: "Brian's beard brings benevolent warmth to the classroom that can't be put into words." We're pretty sure that student got an A+.

Cheeky Beard!

What a delight it was for B of D to stumble upon this beard while enjoying some delicious Belgium brews at Cheeky Monk on Colfax. Kyle moved to Denver 10 years ago from Illinois and he started growing this masterpiece on Halloween. Now, although it was refreshing to gain a different perspective on why the bearded man loves his beard, we may have blushed when given the reason. Mr. Kyle did compare the texture of his beard to “a lady’s under bits”. Yup. While he was explaining this, one of his adoring co-workers walked by and mumbled something about a “prison lady”? Whatever kind of love affair a man has with his beard is his business. He does like that the cougar ladies of the night tell him he’s the spitting image of Bradley Cooper with his beard. Work it, Kyle!

The Handlebeard

Beards of Denver fans, Meet Dan and his sweetheart Christy, and feat your eyes on Dan’s fantastic, artistic ‘stache! Christy created this ‘stache masterpiece from Dan’s formerly full beard; apparently, Dan felt he needed a fun change and Christy was able to play Picasso—and—viola!—the masterpiece emerged! The Handlebeard was a smash hit at Dan’s work Christmas party with his co-workers AND his boss, but proved a bit high maintenance. After about a week of gaining adoration from strangers (in restaurants and public transit) and family alike, Dan, a Missouri native, who has been in Denver about seven years, decided to shave it off and bring the full beard back to its glory. Christy, originally from Illinois, has called Denver home for just over two years. She said she had never known too many guys with beards until landing in the Mile High City. Her favorite part is the fuzziness—the middle-to-end stage when the beard softens up, and she thinks most women would agree with her on that (I know we do!) One thing Christy does caution about is the “stubble burn” that bearded men might leave on their significant others’ cheeks when they start to grow their beards back out; early on, the glorious beard may feel like sandpaper, and when kissing their sweetheart and then rubbing their cheek, the beard, in its infancy, can leave a mark. We say it’s all worth it though for such handsome specimen! Thanks guys—we can’t wait to see what creation is next!

4 Beardeteers

Meet Dave and Cush! These two are friends of the already famous beards on the right, Phil and Jeter. Dave's from NY and has been a Colorado mountain man for the past 15 years. He typically always has a beard but recently shaved it---we won't hold it against him. This kayaker is only clean shaven for the season and once it’s over he quickly grows it back to stop the feeling of being consistently naked in public. He is an all natural type of man, has never once let a comb touch his locks.To his left is Mr. Cush from Hotlanta! He’s been living in Denver for the past two years. Upon arrival to the Mile High City, Dave let the beard do as it pleased. He finally escaped the clutches of corporate America and was free to live as the universe intended; with beard. He thanks the beard every day on the slopes for his free ski mask. Nice meeting these ‘Fire on the Mountain’ Beards!

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!
