DETROIT, MI - In less than a month, Detroit will be able to light up its own Jolly Pumpkin.

The Dexter-based brewery Friday announced that 5,000-square-foot Jolly Pumpkin Pizzeria and Brewery at 441 West Canfield St. in Midtown will open at 11 a.m. April 11, featuring a tailored-to-Detroit menu and a bar stocked with craft beer, spirits and wines.

The brewery's fourth Michigan location will have the largest selection of beers on tap, with 32 craft brews offered. Jolly Pumpkin's popular sours will be served, as well as other beers from North Peak Brewing Company.

The 98-seat restaurant sits on the same block as Shinola, City Bird and Traffic Jam and Snug.

The location will stick to the themes seen at the Ann Arbor, Traverse City and Dexter locations, but Jolly Pumpkin Founder Ron Jeffries worked with Tony Grant, CFO and COO of Northern United Brewing Company, to make the Detroit location unique.

The tweaks start with the walls and come right down to the tables.

"When you walk in, you'll get the feel that you're in a Jolly Pumpkin," Grant said, "but it's a very 'this store' type of feeling."

Small, ornate -- sometimes weird -- light fixtures hang from a high ceiling, and unique paintings of Jolly Pumpkin's one-of-a-kind labels adorn walls made from wood reclaimed from pallets used around the city.

Booths line one side of the restaurant, with long, low community picnic tables filling the space between the bar and booths. A couple of tables sit in front of the restaurant near the windows.

In the warmer months, 24 people can sit outside, too.

While the pizzas will be the focus of the restaurant, salads, sandwiches and burgers will be on the menu as well.

According to Greg Lobdell, co-founder and co-CEO of Northern United Brewing Company, all the bread products served at Jolly Pumpkin will be made at Detroit's Avalon International Breads, which is right around the block.

Grant said that while Jolly Pumpkin is still a small operation, opening their new Dexter facility last year allowed them to expand their production to move into Detroit.

"The city is such an important part of Michigan for obvious reasons," he said.

All of the beers made at Jolly Pumpkin are oak-aged and bottle-conditioned, which is part of the sour brewing process. Essentially, naturally-occurring microbiological cultures produce unique flavors in the beers as they age for three months to over a year. The Jolly Pumpkin sours often carry light, tart and complex flavor profiles.

There isn't a brewer in Detroit currently making a sour, mainly because the cultures needed to obtain the right flavor have a knack for "contaminating" other non-sour beers.

Jolly Pumpkin was the first "all-sour" brewer in the United States, but it took gentle guidance to get the unique beers out into the market.

Jolly Pumpkin brews in 50-barrel batches at its Dexter location, which makes 100 kegs of beer. The kegs are shipped to its three, soon to be four, locations across the state.

All of the alcohol served at the Detroit location is considered and artisan product. Northern United Brewing Co. encompasses the Grizzly Peak and North Peak Beer Co. craft beer brands and the Civilized Spirits and Bonafide Wine brands, all of which will be sold at the Detroit location.
