My favorite are all the IPAs, and a blackberry beer too, cant remember what it was called tho :-/ On a usual at home drinking night, its usually just Yeungling.

Sounds like an awesome bar. If you like IPAs, seek out Russian River's Pliny the Elder (double IPA), Moylan's Hopsickle (triple IPA), or Victory's Hop Devil (I think it's a single IPA). Three great go-to IPAs.

Sam Adams has a Blackberry Wit (wheat style) beer that's pretty good. Otherwise there's a Cascade Blackberry Ale (Belgian style). I think those are the only blackberry beers I can think of off the top of my head. Of course, Lambic/Framboise are popular in fruit flavors like that, but I mostly know of them in the popular raspberry flavors. The ciders I've come across are usually apple, pear, or berry.
