1st Place Moustache Justin Shurtz could easily hold a bottle of IPA in each curl.

The Kind Beard

This is Matt “Beards In A Box” Wilson. Yes, he’s holding up a bag of beard. Though absent from Petaluma Whiskerino for the last couple years, he’s been a contestant the previous dozen plus. After every year he shaves his beard and saves it in that Jack Daniel‘s box. This is the real deal, folks.

One of these ‘staches is not like the other. Every year, Lagunitas throws us a special after-party in their loft Tasting Room. Theresa, Jeremy (who was also an Official Whiskerino Judge), and Jaime were our gracious hosts.

Whatever it is, it runs in the family.
