A bushy beard is certainly a sight to behold. It makes women swoon, men envious and infants, well, a tad confused … Whether you’ve been maintaining an epic forest upon your face for decades, or have just sprouted some well-groomed whiskers, the folks from Sabotage Social and the Brisbane Bearded Bandits want your face present this Saturday January 25.

Beardstock, Brisbane’s first annual bearded beauty pageant, is set to be an annual affair, meaning you have ample notice to get your beard in order for 2015. The riotous fun will kick off from 7:00 pm, with a bunch of different categories and more than $2,000 in cash and prizes. So lumberjacks, bushrangers and hipsters, come forth and battle it out for Mr Beardstock 2014.
