The easiest way is to get on the mailing list. Otherwise, try these:
Jason is so passionate about beer and beards that he included a test question on a beer class final exam about what his next beard should be. He let the people decide. Now it’s his turn to be a judge and decide best beards and mustaches.
Jason does not take facial hair lightly. He has researched and studied the history, meaning, and grooming techniques for hundreds of different styles. In addition he has years of personal experience to draw from. Despite what he says in the video, he is honest and fair. This combined with his personal expertise would make him an excellent judge for your panel!
Jason has much expertise at growing beards and brewing beer, both qualities he inherited from his father. His father has had facial hair for most of his life and went from mustaches to a beard inspired by Jason. I’m just happy that my homebrewing inspired Jason to follow the brewing path with a passion and do everything with passion including beard growing and I’m sure he will judge with the same passion.
Jason is fair, fun, funny and full of life. What more could you want?
Having known Jason as a friend of his family, even before his facial hair, I can say that as a judge you wouldn’t go wrong to choose him. He has always been very committed to any endeavor he has taken on and this too would also be done in an objective, knowledgeable way. His personal experience in having facial hair and his sense of fun would make your choice an enjoyable and worthy one.
Jason was once called “Cat Stevens” by a former co-worker. Many people would take insult to this comment, but Jason is better than that and took it as a facial hair compliment. (People reading this will remember how loooong that beard was…)
He’s a good husband, a good father, a good brewer, a good groomer, and a good friend.
If he can judge beer well enough to run a brewery, I’d bet the man can judge beards too. Give him the gig, as long as he names a future beer in his brewery, “Beard Judge Brew”.
And, it has to be served with lots of head so that any man with a beard or moustache gets a nice creamy stache!
jason is an awesome judge of beer, and he’s an even better judge of beards. how do i know? because beer rhymes with beard – if you drink enough of it.
When you’re looking for someone to judge others, you want a person who’s been around. I’ve know Jason since he was in elementary school in very-small-town Ohio, where everyone is judgmental. But Jason has really expanded his horizons by living in a big city, Chicago, and now in the mountains of Colorado. This guy has lots of life experience and remained honest, fair, intelligent, witty, and would make a great beard – or anything else – judge!
Jason comes from a community with a large Amish population. If there’s anyone who knows beards, it’s a guy who grew up around here!
Buehler, Beer Brewer, brilliantly judges beards in Bend.
Let’s make his dream come true and have a little fun with alliteration at the same time.
I have had the pleasure of knowing Jason for over ten years and can’t remember a time when he didn’t have facial hair. He puts thought and care into what his next style should be. He is also VERY interested in mullets and even has mullet refrigerator magnets. Oh, if only the style would come back, he’d have a beard, moustache AND a mullet! He’d be a great judge!
Before Jason was old enough to grow a beard, he was already thinking about what style of beard to grow. Currently, a partial beard freestyle advocate, he is the best man for the beard and moustache judging job. If you choose Jason as a judge for the facial hair contest, I know he will accept this role with pride!
-Hair today, gone tomorrow
Jason is a hairy guy. He has always been into beards and facial hair and would be a great judge for this contest. In his career as a brewer, I would guess that he’s met lots of other hairy men with lots of different styles of facial hair. He seems qualified to me!
Jason takes heart in everything he does. I personally, have seen many books of beer and beards at his home. Where he sits and reads them night after night while drinking his hand crafted brew. Jason is well qualified and would make a fantastic judge!
I have known Jason for a long time, and he has always been a hair connoisseur. In fact, one of his earliest nicknames was simply ‘Hair’, which later morphed into ‘Chief Hairy Gut’. Not only is he a craftsman with his gut hair, but he is equally skilled in growing and shaping facial hair. He crafted his first Fu Manchu when he was 2. Jason was also a pioneer in Facial Hair Transplants. By his early teens he was creating more fuller beards by transplanting hair from his back, and aforementioned gut. He has even created hybrid beards from rabbit, deer, wild boar, and sasquatch hairs.
You need to look no further. You have found your judge.
Growing up with Bearded Brewer Buehler, I witnessed firsthand how people would gravitate to his beard. It was like his beard would start conversations with others and before you knew it, his beard would be the center of attention. His beard is actually a groomsman in my upcoming wedding, great guy that beard is.
But I know that many of the clean shavin types (boooo!) in our area were jealous of Bearded Brewer Buehler and the powers he possessed from his beard. With that, Bearded Brewer Buehler has been searching for years to find a place where he could judge others who also possessed bearded powers like his own.
Please send Bearded Brewer Buehler to Bend….his beard can say that 5 times fast without making a mistake…seriously, he’s that talented.
This just doesn’t seem like a big hairy deal to me. If Jason wants to travel to some God forsaken town in Oregon and judge beards, I say SELECT HIM. The poor guy is obviously starved for entertainment, so SELECT HIM. Let this guy realize his dream; SELECT HIM!
Jason would be a supreme judge because his nanny taught him everything she knew about beards. The Old Goat!
Jason has been known to punctaute his beard by wearing an authentic kung foo outfit and exectuing kung foo kicks in perfect form. You would not believe how much higher he could kick after he got his friendly mutton chops. I want to see Buehler’s kicks on the judging stage in Bend!
Jason would be great at spotting women who are married to secretly gay men. What? It isn’t that kind of beard contest? Well, he’d be good at ranking facial hair too.
Someone with a beard who drinks beer while judging others? Sounds a lot like my grandmother to me. Also, whenever I see him I suddenly feel the need to get hammered, so I guess he is more like my family than I ever imagined.
Just happened to see this guy on youTube. I loved it. I think that you should let him be your judge just so we could all see what the boy can do. He sure can drink beer…..liked his mutten chops too.
Brewer Buehler’s beard is the beautiful bounty on his beer-drinking face. Jason has had many interests over the years. When he developed an interest in brewing, he threw his heart and soul into it and was accepted into the Siebel Institute of Brewing. Now he’s a mater brewer. Although he’s been intrigued by facial hair for awhile, his interest has grown over the last few years. He has researched the history of beards and the various styles and types and is now an expert. If you want a judge who is intelligent, creative, thoughtful and fair, you’ll choose Jason. His outgoing personality and sense of humor just adds to his value as a judge for your National Beard Competition. Choosing Brewer Buehler for a judge will make this year memorable. You won’t regret it. No one ever has
I have known Jason since he was born. And his middle name is Beardjudge. Yes. Jason Beardjudge Buehler.
I ask you, why fight destiny??!
Jason is a man of true beard-inspiration. He is changing lives, one beard style at a time. Not only has he helped inspire my husband to grow unruly facial hair, but I’m even considering NOT waxing my own upper lip. All thanks to Jason.
Last year while visiting the Alaskan Brewing Company in Juneau, Alaska I met the beard world champion, (bartweltmeister) Gerhard Knapp. Apparently beer and beards go together. Jason the master brewer can do it.
Wow look at this guy! Who better to be the official beard judge. He looks like he was born with that beard! I am a fan of “hey what’s this?” That looked like a tasty beer! Nice work!
