Popular craft beer-maker Night Shift Brewing announced they will dedicate a batch of “The 87” brew to Patriots star Rob Gronkowski following the football player’s retirement announcement.

“Heroes get remembered, but legends never die. This next batch of The 87 is dedicated to the other ’87′ - Rob Gronkowski. Cheers to 9 amazing seasons for one incredible team,” Night Shift wrote in an Instagram post, which displays cans of “The 87” with the text “CHEERS GRONK!” along the canned date line.

The specialty, limited-edition cans will be distributed by Night Shift Distributing to purchase in stores around Boston.

The “87” is an American Double Indian Pale Ale with flavors of mango, papaya, candied peach, or “crisp notes of sweet stone fruit that transport your taste buds to a tropical destination,” according to the brewery.

The brew was originally named for Night Shift’s address at 87 Santilli Highway in Everett, a staple location in the city’s “Fermentation District” with neighbors like Bone Up Brewing Co. and Short Path Distillery.
