The one in the tulip glass is a Palate Wrecker by Green Flash Brewing Co.; the one behind it in the 4oz taster is a Maracaibo Especial by Jolly Pumpkin Artisan Ales and the one up front is Hitachino Nest Red Rice Ale by Kiuchi Brewery

Notes taken on the juicing. I quite like lemon or lime juice in water, just something I either read or heard of before, put lemon in to add tartness and reduce some of the stronger flavours (I think it might have been related to wheatgrass juicing). Apple and Pear sounds better though.
Surprised there was no mention of fruit being used in any of those beers, my first thought was "fruit beer? Ummm!".
The Hitachino one sounds really nice. Mentions Sake notes in the finish, love that stuff. They've got a cool website too:

That's something else I've been doing when possible, making my own beer. I've only got as far as using pre-prepared wort, or, the malt extract cans so far. Needs a lot more reading and equipment to do an "all grain" beer. It takes a long time aswell, so I now know why craft beer is both worth the money, and what makes it special and different.
