If you’ve watched even a single Red Sox game on TV this season, you’ve almost certainly seen former slugger David Ortiz palling around with someone’s “cousin” from Boston in a Sam Adams beer commercial.
The winners of a Boston Beer Co. contest recently spent time with Ortiz at a Red Sox-Yankees game, where he also made himself available for an interview on beer, baseball, and family.
How did you get involved with Sam Adams? Were you a beer drinker before?
Beer wasn’t really my thing. I was a scotch guy. But then I went to the hospital for something that happened to me.
