Isn't brewing kind of like growing a beard? It take patience, meticulous planning, and proper hygiene to be good.
Plus, Chuck Norris has a beard.......
 
started regrowing my beard. warm weather's coming up, and it's about time to start doing ag again. gotta get a respectable beard pretty quick, since i'm brewing an ris this weekend
 
Damn im screwed then.. cause like joe dirt i got the white trash dna and it dont grow here and right here..but the pork chops flourish which just aint right..look like frickn wolverine.
 
If a male brewer, you must have some kind of facial hair. Obviously, the more amazing and large your facial hair is corresponds to the quality of the beer you brew. I wouldn't dare send in any beer I made to a contest, knowing that the soul patch I sport means, at best, I could only brew a 30-37 (very good, generally within style parameters but with minor flaws).

I can't wait to quit my current job to grow out my beard. My next job doesn't care and my wife loves me in one. I've been really busy and haven't had a chance to brew so once I do I'm growing it out and making some kind of beard themed beer. Thoughts on a recipe for a Welcome Home Beard celebration? Maybe a barley wine that just gets better with time?
 
Here's a pic. I can't find anything more recent. It's from October, so my beard has grown considerably since then, but you get the idea. Probably harbouring some wild yeast.

Where the hell did you manage to find Peter Sarsgaard's lost Dwimli audition tape? :mug:

Lots of good beards on Orthodox priests.
And, for some odd reason, Catholic altar boys.

Went hardcore woodsman for 3 years...
*raises single eyebrow suspiciously*

The whole thread might as well be locked now, as that picture aptly represented everything that has ever been said, and ever will be to say, on matters even tangentially connected to the topic of beard.
(Said picture has been referred to using mere words, for obvious apocalypse-avoiding reasons)
 
Brew Master for Rana Dorada (Golden Frog) brewery here in Panama does not have a beard. They have 3 locations around Panama City now and turn out consistently good brews. Assistant Brewer has no beard either. Brew Master was also involved in the start up of Bogotá Beer Company which is the flagship of Colombia's growing craft brew industry (I plan to be in Bogotá next month...yum).

I have a beard and a lot of folks like my homebrew.

So, maybe there are other variables besides just the beard.
 
When I first got into this hobby, I had no idea that this was the stereotype. But, I have a beard, and so does the friend who got me started.

Oh well, I'm not gonna shave just to break the mold here. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
Some of the most powerful men in history sported beards. Zeus. Abe Lincoln. Mr. T. Gandalf, and look at the wizardry he was able to pull off.

If that wasn't enough to convince you, then maybe this name will...

Chuck. Norris. Yeah, that's right, I went there.

You can choose not to sport a beard but you'll only succeed in limiting your true potential. ;)
 
While I didn't have a beard, I hadn't shaved for a few days so I had lots of stubble, but then I went and shaved this weekend right before I brewed. Sure hope my beer turns out ok!
