🎧 Gabe: The Buff Boy Who Dared to Go Bare (Headed)

Meet Gabe, the newest and most… challenging addition to the Buff Boy Brewing Co. crew. Gabe joined us two years ago and quickly became the team’s darling, a master of latte art and a curator of deep-track playlists that could get any grinder running. He was one of us! A true Buff Boy! That is, until the Great Hair Tragedy of 2023.

The Buzz-Cut Betrayal

In a move that shook the very foundations of Buff Boy’s perfectly styled universe, Gabe committed the ultimate sin: he unceremoniously attacked his magnificent mane and emerged with a hair length best described as “aggressively short.” We’re talking buzz-cut territory—a hairstyle that starkly contrasted with the flowing, voluminous standards upheld by, well, everyone else (cough, Collin, cough).

Our superficial team reacted as any rational, coffee-obsessed squad would: with immediate and complete shunning.

• Lunch Policy: For a painful six months, Gabe was relegated to eating his lunch at the other end of the building — and definitely not with us in a restaurant. (We simply couldn’t risk the sight of his scalp disrupting the delicate flavor balance of our single-origin Ethiopian pour-over.)

• Public Appearances: His social calendar was wiped clean. Being seen next to a man with less than one inch of hair growth was deemed a severe public relations risk.

• The Radio Reconciliation: Thankfully, the hair has since begun its slow, painstaking journey back to respectability.

From Shame to Sonic Success

Now, the good news for Buff Radio listeners is that Gabe has channeled his period of follicular exile into a truly unique sound. His disco and jazz picks are a rebellious mix of driving punk rhythms and deeply satisfying big-band brass—music that says, “I may have disappointed my teammates with my grooming choices, but my taste is unimpeachable.” He brings the rebellious energy of a dark roast espresso and the complex, slightly jarring notes of a fermentation experiment gone wonderfully right.

He’s proof that while the Buff Boy team might judge your hair, they’ll never judge your blend. (Well, maybe a little.) He’s here to show you that a great track can be served up by anyone, even if their scalp currently resembles a worn-out tennis ball.
