Bumble Inn & Cock Tavern go beard to beard as vote for Beard Friendly Pub 2020 reaches peak
The Beard Liberation Front has said that the vote for the annual Beard Friendly Pub of the Year will close at midday on Sunday 12th January.
The final period of the poll is often the time of peak voting. Peterborough’s Bumble Inn micropub and the 2019 winner, Hackney’s Cock Tavern, look set to go beard to beard for the annual honour. However there is still time for other pubs on the list to make an impact
BLF Inspectors have been surveying pubs for beard friendliness for the past couple of months (criteria below) and finalised a list including several nominations from drinkers.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, will 2020 see the overall winner of Beard Friendly Pub of the Year go to an out of London pub for the first time? That’s up to voters
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, plus 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 list includes a range of pubs, bars and tap rooms without attempting to classify into sections
The 2019 winner was the Cock Tavern in Hackney
