Sam - Not Uncle Sam!

... but pretty darn close! 
Samuel Adams (1722-1803)
Second cousin to President John Adams, Samuel Adams was an important figure in the American Revolution. He helped organize the Committees of Correspondence and the Boston Tea Party, and was an early proponent of independence from Britain. He was also a signatory of the Declaration of Independence and continued to be active in Massachusetts politics in the early years of the republic.

So... he made some noise - and that was good!
But he also wasted all that tea in the harbor - it's a sin to do that to good English Tea! He spilled tea into the sea - and now his NAME encourages beer drinkers to guzzle straight from the bottle!

Time to make the call - based upon these facts: 
Samuel was a saint - or a sinner?
