Brewers and Beards

Looks like a local Louisville Brewery, Against the Grain (my favorite local brewery by far), did a commercial with Wahl

It does seem like a lot of brewers have beards doesn't it?

You have to have a convenient place to store your yeast...

Your right...it does seem like all the popular breweries have guys with huge beards.

I can't grow a beard if I tried, a little goat-tee, but no beard. I guess I should quit brewing, 'cause I just cant' fit in right!!!

I've had my "winter" beard going since Sept. 1st. Won't be respectable for another month. Much like the Pumpkin beer I have conditioning now.

I have had no luck growing much of any facial hair, doesn't seem to run in the family, too bad, I can't imagine how my beer would taste if I had a beard! Maybe there is a link to the two words sounding so similar, beer and beard.... Further research must be done, I am going to go have some beer from these brewers with beards..

It does to seem to be that way, We've had a lot of fun at the old MB site and here on the Borg about brewers beards. I got mine going again this year after have been clean shaven all summer. This was me last winter and the wife didn't like to show up in in public with me.... I guess I don't blame her....

This year I will be more refined on the beard and the hat.

My company doesn't allow beards (pesticides get trapped and held in beards, and they make getting a good fit with a respirator impossible).

But I'm totally rockin' a handlebar mustache!

This weekend my brew club will have a tent set up handing out samples of our beers at the Bands, Beards and BBQ Festival in the area. Since I can't grow a beard I will just supply beer and enjoy the bands and BBQ.

I tried growin' a beard, but alas, no luck.

I'll agree every brewer, except Gretchen Schmidhausler, I've ever met in and away from breweries has a beard. I'm not sure why either maybe they don't have enough time to shave or something.

I've had a beard since I got out of the Army in '83.

That is quite the coincidence since i havent been able to grow one since birth in '83. World works in mysterious ways!

Did she say it was the beard, or did you just assume that?

Yeah, that's unfortunately true for a respirator, or any breathing device that doesn't have positive pressure. When I was a firefighter many moons ago I got grief about my beard (and it wasn't much of one), but the positive pressure breathing masks we had made it irrelevant since the pressure would flow out any opening and stop smoke from coming in. This was right when the technology changed over, prior to that if you didn't inhale the tank didn't release air. I didn't shave...
