February 12, 2013

Alright folks, with your help we’ve narrowed our search for the Best Beards of Craft Beer down to 20 of the finest and fuzziest faces. Now it’s up to you to pick the crème de la crème by voting for your favorite below. Be sure to read each brewer’s final plea as to why their beard is the best.

The winner and their brewery will be profiled by Julia Herz (@HerzMuses) on CraftBeer.com! Vote for your favorite beard by Sunday, March 17 at 12 a.m. MDT.

How was the top 20 chosen?

Using theBrewers Association(BA) Forum, CraftBeer.com asked BA-member brewers to submit a picture of their “righteous stache, goatee, dali, old dutch, soul patch or just a simple beard.” A Facebookphoto album成立与73年条目和球迷投入en a week to “like” their favorites. Now we’re asking you to vote for the Best Beard of Craft Beer.
