Blog #5: Beer and Beards

Two things that just seem to go together: beer and beards. Like whiskers on kittens. Like raindrops on roses. Like flies on poop.
A lot can be said about a man who has the honor and dignity to throw caution to the wind and embark on the perilous journey that is growing a beard. As a matter of fact, beer has nothing to do with growing a beard, despite the contrary belief that it makes your hair softer. That's an old wives tale. They do however go hand in hand. A man who grows a beard must almost positively also like beer. Regardless of my opinion, no, it does not matter what kind of beer, as long as the owner of the beard likes beer. Shoot, throw back a couple of Keystones or Natty Ices for all I care. Although it does look pretty classy to be treating yourself to a higher quality beer such as Heineken, Guinness, or Sierra Nevada. Take for example the Dos Equis commercials. That gentleman is one astute scholar. It's because he has a beard and a classy beer! Not to mention his ability to speak french in russian. C'mon!
The beard is not for the faint of heart. It is not for the wannabe trendy hipsters. It is not for the kids in high school. It is not something to joke about. It demands the upmost respect.
Grow and drink responsibly!
