Facial hair and brewing beer just seem to go together and to celebrate this matchup of grooming and drinking, organizers welcome you to the 2016 Bearded Brewfest in Portland Maine, scheduled for Saturday, March 19, 2016 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. (VIP entry at 12 pm). Guests can sip on beer from more than 30 world-class brewers like Allagash, Foundation, Tributary, and Baxter while browsing for facial hair grooming accessories and enjoying other beer- compatible merchandise from the likes of vendors such as Stache Bomb Stache Wax, Calabash Cigar and Beard’s Nest Products. As in the past, the Bearded Brewfest is also about charity and this year’s non-profit partner is Til Duty is Done, an organization aimed at reducing veteran homelessness and unemployment while also assisting veterans with successful reintegration to society.
The afternoon of fun will focus on The CanAm Beard & Moustache Competition hosted by the Maine Facial Hair Club. For more information on the CanAm, competition rules and categories, visit thecanam.com.
