The beers in my regular rotation now that everyone drinks, I have blown thru about 30 kegs of beer and cider since August (not to mention 50 gallons of Apfelwien and skeeter pee), so I have a lot of people drinking for free , are:
Nut Brown Ale
Irish Stout
Pale Ale
Red Ale
Full Moon Ale (Tastes Like Blue Moon)
Hard Cider (still nailing this recipe down I make it with apple juice not cider pretty much got the fermenting recipe down it's the backsweetening/spicing that I am still refining, chicks who don't like beer love this stuff, my GF alone has probably drank 4 kegs of the stuff)
Seasonal type beers: I made a Blackberry wheat with hand picked blackberries that was received really well, especially the 2nd keg which aged about 3 months in the keg.
I have a friend who has 20lbs of blueberries he picked waiting in his freezer for me to use in a brew.
I have a bunch of maple trees on the property that give really good amonts of sap (they've been tapped before) I plan on doing something with it.
I still need to perfect an IPA a lager and a black lager for my regular rotation, kind of waitng till I get my walk in done before I tackle lagers.
I make a Corona clone for my many friends who drink Bud Light, PBR, Corona to my eternal shame and sadness.
I am sure I will try other styles too like a Bock etc. My plan is to have a couple taps be "experimental" brews that I will sell for like $1 a pint and if people like them move them over to the regular rotation.
I'm also planning on naming my beers after my friends for example:
The Coach - An arrogant nut brown ale that thinks it's better than everyone else.

Ok, so I haven't read every page in this thread but scanned a bunch. Have you said where you brewpub is located? I live near the Augusta area and always looking for a new place. Portland is fine, but its too far away. When we we get out, we usually head down to the Liberal Cup in Hallowell. Good beer and food at good prices.
Have you considered what some of your regular house beers will be?
