The New England Patriots host Tom Brady and his new team, the defending Super Bowl Champion Tampa Bay Bucs, Sunday at Gillette Stadium.
Smug Brewing, located in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, i staking shots at him by re-releasing “Traitorade” beer before Brady and the Buccaneers arrive in Foxboro this weekend. The imperial fruit sour with sea salt originally debuted last summer after TB12 and Rob Gronkowski signed with Tampa Bay.
“I know some people will be a little upset about this beer, just remember it is just a joke,” the company announced online at the time. “We love our two former Patriot players. That being said we have a unique brew for you. It is an imperial fruit sour with Florida Key limes and a dash of sea salt. This beer reminds me of getting old and having to retire in Florida.”
Brady is not exactly a traitor since the Patriots really did not show much interest in bringing him back.
“I don’t hate Tom Brady. I actually love Tom Brady,” Smug Brewing owner Rob DeRosa told Turnto10.com this week. “I still have his jersey. I didn’t burn it. I just don’t like him right now.”
It worked out for Brady in the end by winning yet another Super Bowl. We will have to see how the fan base thinks of him when he takes the field as he makes his way out of the visiting locker room.
