Weldwerks is releasing a beer in honor of Nikola Jokic, Nuggets’ last season

Nuggets center Nikola Jokic was named the NBA’s most valuable player earlier this month, becoming the first player in team history to earn the award. Now, he has a beer named in honor of him.

Weldwerks Brewing on Monday announced it is temporarily rebranding its flagship Juicy Bits New England IPA to Sombor Shuffle. It’s a reference to Jokic’s signature move in which he performs a step-back maneuver, jumps off his right foot while shooting a high-arcing shot.

The new packaging will be available at the brewery’s Greeley taproom beginning Friday, as well some limited distribution at various liquor stores.
