Drinkers of Sun King Brewery’s Wee Mac Scottish Ale may notice an unusual message next to the canning date posted on their can.
The 20,000-or-so Wee Mac cans that were running down the line on May 13, 2015, just days after the original four-game suspension was handed out to Brady, were given the message by an unnamed employee.
“It wasn’t an idea we came up with at all”, said Robinson, referring to Sun King the company.
And let’s face it, throwing a few barbs Brady’s way isn’t the worst way to get there.
The Indianapolis Star says the phrase was put on the cans by a man who works at the brewery’s canning line one day after the NFL upheld Brady’s suspension for Deflategate, according to ESPN.
The Colts, of course, played a major role in the Deflategate controversy, which came about after deflated balls were used in the AFC title game between the Pats and Colts.
“We were like, ‘Oh, wow, ‘” Robinson said after seeing the cans. Biscuit is his name.
“I actually thought it was amusing”, he said.

“It was a prank by Biscuit”, Sun King co-owner Clay Robinson said Tuesday morning. “Now there are thousands of cans out there that say ‘Tom Brady Sux, ‘” Robinson told the newspaper, but added that Biscuit will now be under tighter corporate control. “We are an Indianapolis-based brewery, we wanted to grow to become Indianapolis” beer.
