Pawtucket Brewery Trolls Tom Brady and Gronk Over Move to Bucs With New Sour Beer

New England doesn't seem to be taking the departure of Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski, both of whom are now Tampa Bay Buccaneers, very rationally, as they are looking for any possible way to get in one more dig at the future Hall of Famers.

Even Smug Brewing in Pawtucket got in on the fun, as they announced the creation of "Traitorade", a Key Lime sour that pokes fun at Brady and Gronkowski, even going so far as to parody the Buccanneers' old creamsicle swashbuckler logo.

? New beer alert ? I know some people will be a little upset about this beer, just remember it is just a joke. 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 ?For curbside pick up, check out the bio or click https://smugbrewing.square.site for Facebook. #cheers #craftbeer #craft #beersnob #drinklocal #drinklocalcraftbeer #beer #brewery #Rhode Island #pvd #Pawtucket #RI #IPA #401 #beerporn #craftbeerinsta #smuglife #smugbrewingco #besmug

Unlike some Patriot fans, the folks over at Smug claim this is totally tongue-in-cheek, claiming that it's just a joke and they have a lot of love for both their former quarterback and tight end.

Gronkowski returned to the NFL after a one-year hiatus, and requested a trade to Tampa Bay in order to be reunited with Brady. In one offseason, the Buccaneers went from a rudderless organization to one of the main contenders in the NFC.

Tom Brady worked out with some of his new #Bucs' teammates this morning. Mike Evans, O.J. Howard, Cam Brate and Blaine Gabbert were among those there, per @NFLSTROUD.

Seeing Brady line up in an orange non-contact jersey with the skull on the side of the helmet is still a bit of an odd sight, especially for those up in New England. At least they have a tasty new sour to drown their sorrows with.
