This week is all about Braw Beard and Moustache Championships, the excitement is building, the beards are growing and the beer is brewing! We’ve talked you through the event itself but this feature is focused on the boys in charge: the judges.
Alone, these guys are an impressive bunch with an array of characters set to be pure entertainment. The judges are the ones who hold the power, they are the ones who dish out the trophies and declare who’s beards are the best. So.. who are they?
DREW JOHNSON
Liverbeard Beard and Moustache Club President
Last October, Braw Beard were proud sponsors of The British Beard & Moustache Championships. Having had an incredible weekend, partying with the wild lads in Liverpool, introducing them to Braws full range of mens essentials, we then teamed up with Liverbeards to bring to you Scotland’s first Braw BMC. It’s only right that the Club President takes centre stage, judging. Be sure and grab a beer with Drew and feast on his words of bearded wisdom.

DAVIE EASTON
Former Glasgow Beard and Moustache Club President
Being a main contender in the GBMC, Davie has a great background in the world of beards. Rocking a mighty fine beard himself, he’ll be able to bring his knowledge and experience to the table and judge a pro beard when he sees one. The GBMC are regularly gathering together, celebrating great beards and even greater beer! Bringing along his crew, this crowd are a welcome addition to the Braw BMC.
