The 'Beard Coozie' drink covers have taken home the 2012 PBR craft show's first place prize. Faux crafting fur has been used here to imitate bristly male beards with a slight opening that displays the PBR label. In addition to be kitschy decor pieces, the Beard Coozies are also practical as they protect ones hands from cold temperatures.
The faux facial hair stretches along the length of black bands that span the width of the beer cans. Those who may not be interested in the mixture of tresses with alcoholic beverages should also be made aware of the fact that the Beard Coozies are handmade, making them not only perfect for the DIY-er, but also for the environmental aficionado.
