Michigan State fans will soon be able to pour a cold on to honor one of the program's beloved former players.

Jagged Mountain Brewery in Colorado has created a beer to honor former Michigan State punter Mike Sadler, who died in a car accident last July.

The beer is a wheat ale called "Hey Diddle Diddle," according to a Wednesday post on the brewery's web site. The announcement notes that Sadler liked to experiment with homebrewing and "it seemed perfect to create a beer reflecting the personality of Mike."

The beer's name is a reference to a fake punt play Michigan State ran against Iowa in 2013, during which resulted in a 25-yard run for Sadler.
