Beard Friendly Pub of the Year (The Professionals) Vote
The Beard Liberation Front has said that a special vote for the Beard Friendly Pub of the Year (The Professionals) is now open and will close at 1pm on Thursday 7th January
It has been decided not to run the annual vote for the Beard Friendly Pub of the Year at the moment as all pubs are closed for on-sales. Rather it will be held in August 2021.
One of the key aims of the Beard Friendly Pub of the Year Award has been to motivate people to visit pubs in one of the quietest times of the year and when the doubtful activities of the Dry January campaign also feature.
Visiting pubs, except where they are doing take-out, is not currently possible. However in order to publicise the welcoming and community positive aspects of pubs, the BLF has determined to run a Beard Friendly Pub of the Year (The Professionals) vote.
The four contenders are pubs who have either won or been runner-up in Beard Friendly Pub of the Year votes in recent years.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, the criteria for inclusion on the list are below. We are looking here, if you like, for the most Beard Friendly of Beard Friendly pubs. Hopefully in making a choice, voters will keep in mind the important role that pubs play in national life and visit, safely, when they do eventually re-open

Beard Friendly Pub of the Year (The Professionals)
The Bumble Inn, Peterborough
The Cock Tavern, Hackney
The Three Horseshoes, Bradford on Avon
Tom’s Tap & Brewhouse, Crewe
The criteria for the Award include:
Beard Friendly Pub: a pub that welcomes the hirsute and often, when open, 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.
