more microbreweries are adding unusual elements to their beers these days than ever before. you can find so many wonderfully interesting flavors out there.
for very unusual beers, try looking for selections from Dogfish Head Brewery out of Delaware. they add some unique ingredients, and also have brewed some historical recipes (like Midas Touch, which uses saffron among other things, or Chateau Jiahu, which uses honey, fruit, flowers, and rice). excellent beers and always cutting edge.
other interesting beers come from a scottish brewery making "historic ales" that use traditional ingredients like heather, gooseberries, spruce, elderberries, and seaweed.
for more info, try the Beer Advocate website, which is always up to date on beer news and the best beers in the world.

Fruit flavoured beers can be very good indeed. There's a shop in Brugges in Belgium which is called The Temple of Beer, and it stocks c 450 different varieties, including fruity ones - particularly liked one flavoured with pink grapefruit. Wish I could remember its name - Pink Killer, or something like that?
Innis and Gunn make an oak-aged beer which is matured in oak barrels previously used for Scotch. It's excellent stuff.

Leinenkugels Berry Weiss Beer, from Chippewa Falls Wisconsin, USA
very refreshing, light berry taste--I thought it sounded disgusting until I tried it!
(Christmas pudding ale sounds great by the way!)

Sam Adams Cranberry Lambic; Anchor Steam; Theakston's Old Peculiar. All these are very good quality beers that are unusual.

hi there
i work at a real ale pub, everything that we sell is brewed on site...and you get to look around at it...
we are the only real ale pub to brew ou own LAGER (Einstein!)
and we are the only real ale pub to use real nettles and rice to brew our ales...
oh we do a chocolate/coffee stout and the obvious ginger beers!
these are the most unusual that we do, however we like to be different (we have so many different types) that were arent like most places, plus weve only been open about 6 months
oh, weve also been snubbed by CAMRA as we dont do things the old way apparently... we like to be different, we aint like the standard real ale pubs so we have a variety of unusal ales...

Had a green ale from Wetherspoons - think it had wheatgrass in it - steer clear, not very nice.
Have you tried Young's Chocolate Ale.
Enville Ale do an ale made with honey - very nice.
Had Oyster Stout when I was in Dublin - really did contain Oysters!
