The Colts already may have provoked the ire of Tom Brady by reportedly acting on the Ravens' tip and reporting the Patriots for playing with underinflated footballs during the AFC Championship Game.
Now the city of Indianapolis can lay claim to having a brewery that has insulted the Patriots quarterback on its cans.

Indianapolis-based Sun King Brewery is responsible for printing a born-on date with the message "Tom Brady Sux" on some 20,000 of its Wee Mac Scottish Ale cans, according to The Indianapolis Star. The brewery sells its beer at Lucas Oil Stadium during Colts home games.
The brewery, however, is shifting blame to an employee of the brewery who works on the canning line.

"It was a prank by Biscuit," Sun King co-owner Clay Robinson said Tuesday morning.
The message was attached to a May 13 born-on date to a batch of cans, the Star reported. The Wells Report that investigated Deflategate and Tom Brady's role in it, had been released the previous week, and Brady's four-game suspension has been announced two days earlier.
"It wasn't an idea we came up with at all," said Robinson, referring to Sun King the company. "Every day, we change the thing on the bottom of our cans. One of the guys running the canning lines had to come up with something. Biscuit is his name. So Biscuit put 'Tom Brady Sux.'
"We were like, 'Oh, wow,'" Robinson said. "We were like, 'What the hell were you thinking?'"
Biscuit, however, was not fired for his transgression.
Robinson said Biscuit is required to submit a list of sayings he intends to put as a message on the bottom of the cans.
"I actually thought it was funny," Robinson said. "Now there are thousands of cans out there that say 'Tom Brady Sux.'"
If Brady's four-game suspension stands -- Brady and the NFL are currently in litigation over his suspension -- his first game in 2015 would against the Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium.
