Brewing Company Offers Auction For Reality TV Appearance

Stampede Brewing Co. to Conduct First-Ever Charity Auction of a Reality TV Show Appearance.

New Beer Company Creates Reality TV Show With Puck From MTV´s The Real World(R) to Build Awareness for Celiac Disease While Launching Its Brand

Starting Tuesday, October 25th, people from all walks of life can bid for a once in a lifetime chance to be a guest star on a new reality show called Six Pack(TM). Six Pack is being produced by National Lampoon´s Reality Bar Crawl Channel to coincide with the launch of Stampede Brewing Co.´s new beer, Stampede Light. The host of Six Pack will be the infamous Puck, from MTV´s The Real World. The winning bidder will get to hang with Puck and Stampede Brewing Co.´s founder for a weekend of fun, sports, and debauchery. Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks, has also donated tickets to a Mavs game as part of the winning bid.

All expenses will be paid and all mayhem will be taped, however, you must be 21 to bid. The charity auction, listed on eBay(R) and managed by Kompolt, can be found at www.ebay.com/stampedebeer .

A portion of the winning bid will be donated to The Celiac Disease Foundation. Affecting one out of every 133 Americans, Celiac Disease is a genetic disorder that makes it impossible for people with the disease to eat foods that contain gluten, which is found in wheat and other grains. "People with Celiac Disease can´t even enjoy a cold beer when they watch a ball game," said Lawrence Schwartz, founder of Stampede Brewing Co. "It´s not fair, and we want to help fund a cure."

"People like to watch people doing real things... not commercials," said Puck from MTV´s The Real World San Francisco. "So I decided to help Stampede tell their story through a reality TV show instead of letting them waste money on stupid commercials that nobody watches. And besides, beer packed with Flintstones is a really cool idea," Puck said.
