SHORTLIST FOR BEARD FRIENDLY PUB 2012 ANNOUNCED
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that after extensive research by BLF Inspectors the shortlist for Beard Friendly Pub of 2012 has been agreed.
The winner will be announced on 15th December
The BLF says that the number and range of Beard Friendly Pubs has increased significantly this year and it has determined to list pubs in several categories:
Beard Friendly Pub: a pub that welcomes the hirsute and often has a significant number of hirsute customers
Beard Friendly Ambience: a pub that may have fewer hirsute customers but is welcoming to the hirsute through bearded bar staff and beard friendly beers such as imperial stouts
Provincial Beard Friendly Pub 2012
Last year a London pub, the Jolly Butchers in Stoke Newington High St, won the accolade of Beard Friendly Pub of 2011. It beat the Evening Star pub in Brighton for the coveted title. The Southampton Arms in Gospel Oak was third.
The campaign group says it welcomes diversity in both appearance and drinking but does think that there is a link between stylish beards and beers and good pubs
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, we are delighted in the growth of Beard Friendly Pubs across all categories in the last year and we expect the race for the winner to go down to a whisker.
