What the ***** is up with pro brewers and beards???

[fastricky]

Is it like a cost of entry as a pro brewer that you grow a beard and resemble the UniBomber?

And c'mon, if I see one more dude wearing overalls...! :cross:

 

[robtotten]

Whats the deal with the cereal named Grapenuts? You open the box and the cereal doesnt have any grapes or nuts in it!!

 

[JNye]

Beards are pretty popular within the beer geek groups as well. Its just part of the culture.

Too busy brewing, no time to shave.

 

[Zamial]

Razors or grain guess which one won?

As for the overalls...yep...Dickies.

Sorry, I now need to go have a beer since I am having some sort of "stereotype overload".

And what's with these tiny packets of peanuts on the airplane?

 

[two_hearted]

uh, beards are awesome? I don't understand the question...

 

[FatherJack]

I can't grow a beard, but beards are awesome.

Heck, even cats like them:


Yes, I'm well aware there are a number of snappy one liners that can complete this one.

Whats the deal with Ovaltine? The mug is round, the jar is round.. they should call it roundtine.

Rockstars have long hair, hockey players have missing teeth, brewers have beards. As for the overalls they have a built in bib just in case you miss your mouth because of the beard.

And, what's with cancer?

 

[adfirmus]

Brewers must be in the same beard cult as pipe smokers. We won't count hipsters with beards though...

 

[Joesf35]

And, what's with cancer?

I have cancer.

 

[Bhunter87]

Brewers have beards for sanitization purposes... Obv

Bibs are to hold hydrometers...

This thread should be under beginner brewer questions...

 

[SankePankey]

Brewers become brewers so they don't have to sit in corporate board meetings cleanly shaven with a tie on.

 

[r8rphan]

It's a known fact that most home brewers are mountain men, or want to be one....

Besides, shaving is dangerous when you're drunk..

 

[johnnyboy1965]

Why cant soldiers have beards but sailors can ?

 

[RedHouse]

Yup.....not a pro obviously.....but I am a pipe smoker, have a beard, and wear Carhartt bibs.

 

[robtotten]

What's up with white people and their pocket protectors?

 

[Bhunter87]

Whats up with the socioeconomic status of Burundi?

 

[r8rphan]

Sup?

 

[wildwest450]

I just went to the first annual East Nashville beer fest. I thought I was at Woodstock.

It seems that most beer geeks/pros are slightly smelly hippies.

You still get peanuts on a plane? Those anaphylactic $*&$s took even those away from me ages ago!

 

[fastricky]

And what the f*ck is up with everytime a brewer appears in a publication it's a shot of them raking the grain out of the mash tun. Geez, give me a break.

 

[izatt82]

i have a beard, maybe i need to be a pro brewer.

 

[emjay]

I have a steel-wool Viking beard. Nice to know I'm qualified.

 

[KevinM]

I can't grow a beard, I'll never be taken seriously as a brewer!

 

[JetSmooth]

I know nothing about pro brewers. Bu tI do know something about beards.

Also, +1 on the Viking beard. Can't make it lie down smooth to save my life.

Also note: I'm not raking grain out. I'm putting grain in.

 

[fastricky]

The hat is cool. Points for that.

 

[badmajon]

I can't have a beard! I can however have a "non-eccentric" mustache. I'd just end up looking stupid if I tried, so for now I'm clean shaven.
