Cigar City and The Bruery to collaborate

Tampa's Cigar City Brewing will work with Orange County, California's The Bruery to create a beer made with two unannounced fruits that will be aged in barrels. They haven't announced what the style of beer with be, but Cigar City's Joey Redner posted the following on BeerAdvocate:
So without confirming anything, maybe the idea is to use fruits cultivated in Florida/California rather than specifically native to California. Or maybe not. Personally I think they are going to try to beat Sam Calgione to the punch and recreate one of the few traditional beverages left he has yet to attempt: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_drink
They plan to brew it in October or November in California and don't expect it to be released until July or August of 2010.

I've read good things about The Bruery and their unique ales. Their beers aren't sold in Florida yet.
