New Glarus Oktoberfest

October 4, 2018 By //  by The Beardsgaards Leave a Comment

It has been less than a year since River Peak first brought the show on the road and set up a vendor booth at an event.

We have had the opportunity to get a few of these under our belts now (hardly forgetting anything important these days), but New Glarus (Wisconsin) Oktoberfest may be the richest in food and beer we have ever taken part in. Weirdly, 75% of the folks we met were actually from northern Illinois.

Fermilab 50th {Video}

September 30, 2017 By //  by The Beardsgaards Leave a Comment

We would like to again apologize to Fermilab for all that we have put them through since we come to town. They’re smart. They’re nerds. They ooze sexual magnetism. Wait, that might be the bison. Because they have a herd of bison. What’s not to love?

Maybe the heat on the 92 degree fall day on which their 50th Anniversary Open House fell, but we won’t hold that against them. We will say, they should count themselves fortunate that the Moistmaker didn’t decide to reenact the sexy shirtless Jeff Goldblum Jurassic Park scene on their front steps.

Get on down to the bottom of this post to see the entire video, in which Moistmaker (also known as Joey, Joe when he’s feeling cool) interviews both a scientist, and a herd of bison. One of them responded by urinating in our general direction. You’ll have to watch to find out which.

The Faces of Beardsgaard • Spiritbrook IRL {Video}

July 23, 2017 By //  by The Beardsgaards Leave a Comment

The faces of Beardsgaard series takes you inside the story and the world of each of our products ~ our real live regular clients, cut by the Beardsgaard barbers, groomed by River Peak Apothecary, and on location, often just off the beaten path. Journey to our realm, nerds.

Photos: Left: Natalie Anderson / Right: Jim Richards

We often say that Beardsgaard is the D&D game to River Peak’s LARP tournament, and that is demonstrated nowhere as fully as these fantastical photo shoots we do sometimes.

So while everything is magical and polished over at River Peak Apothecary, at Beardsgaard we get down and, in many cases, pretty dirty. Or at least Blademaiden did this time, skittering up trees and tossing herself in the dirt at every opportunity to get the good angles with the camera.

Let us tell you the rest of the story, and get to the bottom of the post for the full video.

So while everything is magical and polished over at River Peak Apothecary, at Beardsgaard we get down and, in this case, literally really dirty, tromping around the woods before the sun was even all the way up, because we’re crazy people, we guess.

The Faces of Beardsgaard • Hearthstone IRL

Faces of Beardsgaard ~ Hearthstone

When we set out to bring the inspiration behind Hearthstone to life, (our autumn beard oil from the house-made line of Beardsgaard) we knew we were setting off on an adventure the likes we have never undertaken before.

Colin & Tyler in the Treehouse Ep VI: Armageddon Dark Lord of Tech {Video}

September 8, 2016 By //  by The Beardsgaards Leave a Comment

In the early days, the Gaard was a trio of dweebs (one is behind the camera most of the time) who all lived in different parts of the same old house, and it sort of turned into a stupid show. Called Colin & Tyler in the Treehouse. These are their stories.

Blademaiden’s father, our own personal Fred Willard/Hank Hill invited us over for delicious ribs, we brought some Dark Lord, and things got weird. Unfortunately we had to cut a lot of the best stuff, lest Blademaiden’s mother murder her husband and daughter. We also talked tech, because David is the wizard behind Armageddon Electronics.

Colin & Tyler in the Treehouse Ep V: Weekend Warriors {Video}

A couple of fairies just flew back from Wisconsin, and boy are their wings tired! There were plenty to fairies to be found, and knights, and jesters and pirates and more at the Bristol Renaissance Faire this weekend, perhaps the happiest place on earth for the Beardsgaards.

Colin & Tyler in the Treehouse Ep IV: Fancy Treehouse Edition {Video}

July 6, 2016 By //  by The Beardsgaards Leave a Comment

Some among our group have always had a fascination with those boxy bits on top of nice old houses, known as widow’s walks, or kooplas. Then we found out that one of our clients owned one of them, and is practically a neighbor to Beardsgaard Manor.
