acting singly and with full power of substitution, the undersigned's
true and lawful attorney-in-fact to:

      1.  Execute for and on behalf of the undersigned, in the
undersigned's capacity as an Officer or both of Boston Beer, Forms 3,
4, and 5 (and any amendments thereto) in accordance with Section
16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act"), and the rules thereunder;

      2.  Do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the
undersigned which may be necessary or desirable to complete and
execute any such Form 3, 4, or 5, complete and execute any amendments

similar authority, including without limitation the filing of a Form

undersigned to file the Forms 3, 4, and 5 electronically with the
SEC;

      3.  Seek or obtain, as the undersigned's representative and on
the undersigned's behalf, information on transactions in Boston
Beer's securities from any third party, including brokers, employee

authorizes any such person to release any such information to each of
the undersigned's attorneys-in-fact appointed by this Limited Power
of Attorney and approves and ratifies any such release of
information; and

      4.  Take any other action in connection with the foregoing
which, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact, may be of benefit to,
in the best interest of, or legally required by or for, the
undersigned, it being understood that the documents executed by such

Limited Power of Attorney shall be in such form and shall contain

in such attorney-in-fact's reasonable discretion.

      The undersigned hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact full
power and authority to do and perform any and every act and thing
whatsoever required, necessary, or proper to be done in the exercise
of any of the rights and powers herein granted, as fully to all
