I noticed the beer I brewed pre-beard is conditioning better, in direct proportion to beard length.
I grew a beard...

SWMBO doesn't like me growing my beard... I prefer to rock the lumberjack, but wife doesn't like it and other things get neglected when I do 
My beers are usually pretty damn good, but it seems the bulk of pro brewers have a stellar face mane. I can only wonder what they would be if I had my way.

What about a handlebar 'stache? That has to be better than a soul patch at the very least...
I shaved my terrible beard about two weeks ago and brewed last night. Forgot to scale up a recipe from 5 to 6 gallons, so now I have a budlight-strength honey blonde (hey, could still be really good), but my groundwater was cold enough to chill the wort to 67F with only my IC. So, I guess it's a wash.

Yes, a handlebar is much better than the dreaded nut duster.
But a full beard is the best for your brew.

While men find white beards to be epic in there manliness, ladies may not.
Sometimes a price must be paid for beardliness
In my opinion only John L. Sullivan and Rollie Fingers should ever wear a handlebar mustache.
I can't predict the effect it will have on beer making.
I can predict the effect it will have on women. It won't be good.

Meh... SWMBO likes it and she's the only one who counts (or so she says).

I was going on my wife's reaction when I asked her about it.
Now that I think about it, maybe that's why my wife said I shouldn't shave it. Competition...
I grew one out for November and the SWMBO has fallen in love with it. I have brewed a considerable amount of been in November non is ready quite yet but I feel they will all be brews.
On another note we toured New Belgium and O'dell a couple weeks ago and that was by far one of the highest concentrations of awesome facial I've ever been in the presence off. Both employees and patrons.

The money you save in razors can be spent on grain. My face eats razorblades. In the army I was FORCED to shave x2 a day or me gas mask would not seal. It was not until years later I realized that the employers that had rules for facial hair were either a) the food industry or b)made by some fool with a lack of testosterone to grow a decent one. Mostly the later...

Not sure if growing a beard will help your brewing prowess, but I have heard that brewers that grow beards have been seen doing strange things... showering with a carboy, sporting carboy brush underwear and hiding their home-brewing catalogs under the bed mattress.

It is all a result of childhood upbringing and progression. I now have hair growing everywhere, my carboy replaces my Star Wars figures, my bottle brush mankini replaces my underoos, and I still have playboy under the mattress. Only thing is that a NB catalog is nestled inside where Miss November is waiting. Sounds as though you suffer from this affliction too. It's OK, come out. Join us. My beer has never tasted better since growing a beard and showering with my carboy. Intimacy is key to a happy carboy. I would like to petition that we call them cargirls.

Enough chit chat boys! Lets see those winter coats! This one is almost 4 months old now...
No, I don't know why it is sideways...can't seem to correct it...
Daywalker!!!!
Very nice. I'm a ginger myself.
Unfortunately I can't ever realize my full beard potential because I am an exec at a bank. Even my neatly trimmed beard gets some disapproving looks.
But - When I retire in a few years - watch out. I'm going full ZZ-Top.
that's hurtful.

Does just growing a moustache count? I grew one for charity and when I brewed I got my best efficiency to date. I'm now going to grow a beard
I hope you aren't truly hurt. I was joking. Its one of my friends who is a ginger's favorite things to say.
Its a southpark reference to redheads.
Nope. I was joking.
word
I say you grow it all the way out, dress like a viking. and yell at anyone who gives you "a look", "What's in your wallet?!?"
Technically a daywalker is a redhead who can go out in the sun. Most of us pretty much burst into flames upon contact with sunlight. So a redhead in the sun is an anomoly. It a slightly veiled vampire reference. It's actually pretty funny.

I guess that makes me a daywalker. Don't get me wrong, I burn like the rest of them, but if I keep at it I can actually get a descent tan. And I have a beard. Been sporting it for a little over a year now. I've been thinking about taking the next step and moving my trimmer back a notch.
