We still aren't sure whether Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young will play in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals Tuesday night. He's listed as questionable on the team's injury report.
While the city of Atlanta hopes Young can go, there will still be a way to see his now-famous shimmy, even if he doesn't lace up his court shoes.
The day after Atlanta won Game 1, and Young added an exclamation point to the victory, the folks at Six Bridges Brewing came up with an idea.
It just so happened they had a new beer ready to release, and the beer didn't have a name. They were so excited about the Hawks win and Young's heroics, they decided to name the beer in his honor.

"It’s very exciting for the Hawks to have done this good this season and to have advanced as far as they have in the playoffs," Bryan Johnson, production manager at Six Bridges said. "The swagger and confidence Trae brings to this team and city is a breath of fresh air. It was only fitting to use it in the beer's name."
Six Bridges tapped their new 5% pineapple orange Berliner Weisse shortly after after Game 1 and called it Downtown Shimmy. The beer is still on tap at Six Bridges' Johns Creek taproom.
