When most employees do something terribly wrong, they are at risk of suspension, a sacking or at least a slap on the wrist.

But a man who works for craft beer brand BrewDog found himself earning the title of 'employee of the month' - after he caused an entire batch of cans to be recalled because of a naughty prank.

According to BrewDog, their packing manager Graeme Wallace was recently responsible for a 200,000 can recall.

Annoyed that the company was accused of not being ‘punk’ enough, Graeme changed the wording on the cans to read ‘MOTHER F****R DAY’ on a batch of Punk IPA which was then allegedly shipped out to the whole of the UK.

The act of defiance only came to light when amused social media users started tweeting BrewDog photos of the bottom of their beer.

Sure enough, someone did share a photo on Imgur with the caption: "Have to take all these beers off sale because someone had a bad day."

A spokesperson for BrewDog said: "At another company, someone responsible for a prank like this might have been given the heave ho. At BrewDog, Graeme was awarded Employee of the Month."

Let's hope someone doesn't try to beat him next month. It could get ugly.
