DETROIT - Ron Jeffries and his Jolly Pumpkin brewery have gone international with their collaborations.

The sour beer wizard recently debuted a Sea Buckthorn Fandango sour ale brewed in collaboration with Mikkel Bjergso of Copenhagen's Mikkeller Brewing, which is available in bottles at the Jolly Pumpkin Pizzeria and Brewery in Detroit.

Another special bottle, the Innovatorman, was also brewed in 2014 in collaboration with Jeppe Bjergso of Evil Twin Brewing in Brooklyn, and Charles Psenka of Leelanau Brewing Company.

The Innovator man is a sour ale brewed with strawberries.

And Jeppe and Mikkel are twin brothers, originally from Denmark, who reportedly don't get along very well.

Both beers were brewed in 2014, and spent over a year aging in oak barrels.

The bottles are available for $15 a piece at the 441 West Canfield location, which President Barrack Obama recently had lunch at.

But Jolly Pumpkin is showing their Detroit location more love.

According to a spokeswoman, a third beer will be on tap, and it will combine the Sea Buckthorn and Innovatorman into the Hamajang.

This combines the work of the Bjergso twins, two titans of the craft beer industry, for the very first time.
