KICK OFF THE SUMMER WITH A COLD BREW IN HAND: SAM ADAMS LIGHT WANTS BOSTON TO TASTE THE WORLD'S BEST-TASTING LIGHT BEER FOR A WORTHY CAUSE

Sam Adams Light(R) Beer Taste Challenge in Boston To Benefit

The Cam Neely Foundation For Cancer Care

Kick off Memorial Day weekend with a Sam Adams Light(R) in hand and the excitement of a Boston baseball game nearby. Enjoy the world's best-tasting light beer and baseball, while also raising money for a worthwhile cause. Join Boston hockey star and founder of The Cam Neely Foundation For Cancer Care, Cam Neely, best known as a "power forward," and Jim Koch, brewer and founder of The Boston Beer Company, best known for his Samuel Adams(R) beer, to kick off a series of Sam Adams Light taste challenges for consumers throughout Boston to raise money for The Cam Neely Foundation For Cancer Care.

The goal of the Sam Adams Light(R) Taste Challenge is to challenge ten thousand Bostonians in light beer taste-offs in bars throughout Boston, starting with one hundred bars on May 27th and continuing through the end of August. All beer drinkers will have the opportunity to donate, in the name of the Cam Neely Foundation For Cancer Care at least one dollar, and to perform blind beer taste tests of Sam Adams Light against other light beer contenders. All proceeds raised through these tasting events will be matched by Samuel Adams, and then presented to The Cam Neely Foundation For Cancer Care in August.

"It's a win-win for Bostonians -- they now have an opportunity to try a great-tasting light beer, while also giving back to the community by donating to a charitable cause," said Jim Koch. "Sam Adams Light is proud to team up with The Cam Neely Foundation For Cancer Care, which has made great strides in supporting families faced with cancer."

The kick-off for this fundraising event will take place at Boston Billiards, around the corner from the ballpark, where Jim Koch and Cam Neely will jump behind the bar to pour the first consumer taste test. "Take away the labels and rely only on the taste, and the best beer usually wins," says Koch. Awarded a gold medal by the judges of the World Beer Championships in a special taste test, Sam Adams Light has a unique bright amber color and a rich, creamy head, unlike other light beers. Koch adds, "We have full confidence in the discriminating tastes of Bostonians for determining what's the best light beer."

"Not only do I want to toast Jim for his incredible beer but also his support of those in our Boston community that have been affected by cancer," said Neely. "I look forward to joining Samuel Adams and enjoying a beer brewed by a great Boston company all in the name of a great cause."

The Cam Neely Foundation for Cancer Care's mission is to provide comfort, support and hope to cancer patients and their families and was established in 1995 in memory of Marlene and Michael Neely who lost their battles with cancer. The Foundation has raised over $11 million since its inception.

The two programs that it supports are The Neely House and The Neely Cancer Fund. The Neely House at Tufts-New England Medical Center is a home away from home for cancer patients and their families. The Neely Cancer Fund supports initiatives that impact cancer patients directly. Projects undertaken since its creation in late 2000 include The Neely Center for Clinical Cancer Research, The Neely Cell Therapy and Collection Center and plans are underway for the renovation of The Pediatric Bone Marrow Transplant Unit at The Floating Hospital for Children's Cancer Center.
