Nominations for Beard Friendly Pub of the Year close 31st December
The Beard Liberation Front has said that nominations for the annual vote for Beard Friendly Pub of the Year will close on 31st December. The on-line poll will open on January 2nd 2020
BLF Inspectors have undertaken the arduous task of surveying pubs for beard friendliness over the last couple of months (criteria below) and are now finalising the list to be voted on.
However it is obviously not possible to visit every pub and every location and a call for nominations remains open until 31st December.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, the criteria for inclusion on the list are below. We are not interested in pubs where someone once saw a person with a beard at the bar. It is rather more serious than that. Its unlikely that we wont be aware of a particularly beard friendly pub. Rather nominations may persuade us to include a bar or pub on the final list
The criteria for the Award include:
Beard Friendly Pub: a pub that welcomes the hirsute and often has a significant number of hirsute customers, including but certainly not confined to those with modern styles of beards .
Beard Friendly Ambience: a pub that may have fewer hirsute customers but is welcoming to the hirsute through some bearded bar staff and beard friendly beers, and has a generally relaxed atmosphere for all.
The campaign group says it welcomes diversity in both appearance and drinking. The truly beard friendly pub will have a genuine mix of customers not just a load of old blokes grumbling about life.
The 2019 winner was the Cock Tavern in Hackney
