Blame it on Biscuit.
That's the party line from Indianapolis-based Sun King Brewing, who trolled beleaguered Patriots quarterback Tom Brady in a diabolically sneaky way:
Yes, that born-on date does read "Tom Brady Sux," and it graced the bottoms of more than 20,000 cans of Wee Mac Scottish Ale on May 13, the Indianapolis Star reports. The culprit? A Sun King employee identified only as "Biscuit," who works the canning line and is responsible for swapping out the message on the bottom of the brewery's beers each day. Sun King's owner told the Star that while the brewery had not condoned Biscuit's prank — which he carried out during the height of the Deflategate media frenzy — "I actually thought it was funny." Still, Biscuit is now required to submit his born-on date proposals each week for approval.
