Beard & Brew: The Best St. Paddy’s Pairings
St. Patrick’s Day is the perfect time to celebrate two things that go hand in hand - great beards and even greater beers! Whether you’re sipping on a smooth stout or a hoppy IPA, your beard deserves the same level of attention as your drink. This fun guide pairs different beard styles and grooming routines with the perfect craft beer, ensuring you look as legendary as you feel this St. Paddy’s.
1. The Full Lumberjack Beard + Irish Stout
A thick, full-bodied beard needs a beer with equal depth. Enter the Irish stout, known for its creamy texture and roasted malt flavors. This pairing is perfect for bearded gentlemen who embrace the rugged yet refined look.
Grooming Pairing: Keep your beard soft and conditioned with Epic Night Beard Butter to complement the smoothness of a well-poured Guinness.
2. The Classic Handlebar Mustache + Red Ale
A bold mustache deserves a bold beer. Irish red ales offer a balance of caramel sweetness and light bitterness - just like the balance required to maintain a handlebar mustache’s perfect curl.
Grooming Pairing: Use Dapper Dude Beard Oil to keep your mustache soft and styled all night long.
3. The Stubble Beard + Hoppy IPA
For those rocking a short, effortless stubble, a crisp, hoppy IPA is the way to go. This combo keeps things fresh, modern, and full of character.
Grooming Pairing: Keep stubble irritation at bay with Carpe Diem Beard Oil to hydrate and nourish your skin.
4. The Viking Beard + Barrel-Aged Stout
A long, untamed Viking-style beard pairs best with a barrel-aged stout, known for its robust, smoky, and whiskey-infused flavors. This beer choice speaks to the warrior spirit of those who let their beards roam free.
Grooming Pairing: Combat dryness with Dark and Stormy Beard Butter to maintain a legendary mane.
5. The Corporate Beard + Irish Lager
For those with a well-groomed, neatly trimmed beard, a light Irish lager keeps things clean, smooth, and refreshing. This easy-drinking beer mirrors the effortless style of a refined beard.
Grooming Pairing: Stay polished with Salty Vibes Beard Balm to add structure and light hold.
6. The Goatee + Coffee Porter
A coffee porter brings a rich, roasted complexity that matches the sharp, structured style of a goatee. Both are bold yet refined choices for a confident man.
Grooming Pairing: Keep it precise with Rip Tide Beard Butter, ensuring your goatee stays well-defined and soft.
Final Toast to Your Beard & Beer

No matter your beard style, there’s a beer out there waiting to complement it this St. Paddy’s Day. So raise a glass, care for your beard, and celebrate in style. Cheers to good grooming and great brews!
