Hasta La Gadget!

Rogue Beard Beer didn’t get its name for nothing. It’s an unusual brew that’s made using yeast that has been extracted from the beard of an actual human being. That human being is brew-master John Maier, who sports a notably bushy beard that apparently has a lot of yeast in it.

I’ve tried my fair share of weird food and drinks, but this is one I probably won’t try. Nothing against John and his beard, but let me just say, we don’t know where his beard has been…

Anyway, on a more serious note, this isn’t the first time that a brewery has chosen to use wild yeast for their beer. The flavor is described to be a bit more “interesting” and on the “sour side”, so if that sounds appealing to you, then give the Beard Beer a shot, by all means.

Beard Beer is available online for $6.75(USD) a bottle.

For the first time in my many years, I’ve started to grow a little bit of a beard. But it’s more of a Miami Vice, Don Johnson five-o-clock shadow thing than a real, manly beard. On the other hand, this guy has this facial hair thing nailed…

Chad Roberts took home both the Best-in-Show and Freaky Funky Free Style award at the 2nd Annual Garden State Beard & ‘Stache Competition (yes, there is such a thing) vanquishing his many hairy foes with the ultimate Spider-Man beard.

I wonder if he had to spin some webs of various sizes to hold that thing in place like that.

It’s funny how these days it’s so easy to go buy yourself a beard if you don’t have the patience to grow one. But if you’d like a really long beard – and I mean a REALLY long beard, then you’re out of luck. Until now.

Yes, thanks to artist Alexa Allamano of Foamy Wader, you can now own a knit beard inspired by the nearly endless facial hair of Rip Van Winkle – which is way better than the facial hair on Robert Van Winkle. This handknit beard measures a whopping 28-feet-long, which means you’ll need to wrap it around like a bunch of scarves when you want to walk around.

For some reason, it actually reminds me of some sort of giant snake when it’s lying there on the ground, so I’m not so sure I’d want it around my neck for fear that it would strangle me to death when I least expect it.

If you don’t have the time to take a 100-year sleep and grow your own megabeard, then head on over to Etsy, where the first $500(USD) will be granted the wish of an instant beard – and the warmest scarf ever.

We’ve all gotten a hair in our drinks at some point, though we probably all reacted differently. (Only the small majority of us hit someone and then was beaten by a group of hoodlums and left to die on the streets. That was me. Not the hoodlums, of course, the guy who almost got killed.) We’ve also probably all spilled a little bit of a drink in our facial hair, which I can assure you populates my face in a gorgeous manifestation of peach fuzz. With the Beard Cozy, you can cover your booze or other canned drink with the beard off of someone else’s face to help maintain the temperature of your beverage! Also, the manliness of your sole.

The Beard Cozy is a manly “mug cozy” for cans, and you should probably pick one up if it’s interesting to you. Also, you should pick up my phone, which I just dropped, and I don’t care if you find it interesting. I hope you find it uninteresting, because it finds you uninteresting you LOVELESS SLUG. “You know this is the last time I’m ever inviting you over, right?” I don’t care, since I just climb through your fire escape and watch you eat anyway.

This was made by Etsy seller armsandink, and you can cheat on me by heading over there, but the Beer Cozies are currently sold out. If you’re looking for more beard-related items, check out the Bearded Ski Mask and the Viking Beard Helmet when you’re prepared to move on.
