I’m starting a winter beard club on facebook for this coming season. hopefully will have a gathering at the end with beer and awards. They’ll be a charity component to that event, but this is mostly an excuse to be manly and awesome. [https://www.facebook.com/groups/290947151105467/](https://www.facebook.com/groups/290947151105467/) here is some classic inspiration ---

We have the buffalo beard and beer social club. It was started by someone on this board I believe. I have a year round beard, but it is not crazy like the preview pic of that video. ---

Yes big e did. The club has been a bit lacking lately because people get busy… anyway. I think I’m not going to have a beard anymore. So popular now. I think I’ll just grow.a really powerful stache. ---

I don’t follow this trend at all, I always have a beard though. Growing it longer is just meh. I’d rather just dump a bucket of ice water over my head… ---

i actually treated myself to a beard for a 2.5 months this summer to prepare for the cold conditions in the mountains while on my last chopper trip. my g/f hated it. then i shaved it into a handlebar mustache. which she hated more.

I always wanted a real pedophile looking beard, but after a certain length it starts to annoy me and I trim it. ---

There is still something to be said about the long beard but clean cut up top look. Unfortunately, I don’t have a boss that agrees with my opinion on facial hair so I’ve kept it at least trimmed as of late. ---
