Picture this, if you will, Samuel Adams, the patriot not the beer...
Charging his followers 5 pence for the face paint to complete the disguise of the protesters at the original Tea Party...

Or Paul Revere screaming out The British Are Coming the British Are Coming brought to you buy Revere Pewter drinking mugs...

5. i'm sorry...
but you can't separate the Patriot from the Brewer. He was one and the same man.

Otherwise, your premise is sound.
