What do you order when you go into a pub?

[Johnny Canuck3]

That is good but can be astonishingly priced. Went into pub in Bath and ordered a half a year or so ago and they wanted nearly three quid!

Usually, others are buying.

It's about 8 bucks for a pint, which is like 4 pounds, I think.

I'm surprised that it's more expensive in UK, seeing that you're that much closer to Belgium.

 

[Tank Girl]

pint of guinness or jack daniels and coke (not a pint)

I was about ten pence short and they wouldn't let me offIt was the sort of pub that had food where the starter menu began at seven quid for a bit of hummus

 

[moose]

Pint of bitter. Or perhaps dark mild if it's a lazy Sunday.

[zog]

generally a pint of brains, or if I'm lucky some Hancocks HB

 

[subversplat]

Strongbow is over fizzy minging acid shit IMO Westons bottled organic is being sold in a lot of places now-and found Old Rosie in pub the other day on draught (a pleasing 7.5 percent for two quid) Kingstone press is not too bad and getting quite popular nationwide. I heart cider and do miss Somerset for so many types of yellow and orange nirvana

I like my fizzy acid drink

I don't recall you ordering any light beer. Don't believe her, folks.

 

[chymaera]

I admire your ball and chain-not enough women I know are into proper cider-has she tried cheddar valley?

Yes, we sometimes buy direct from them on the way past on our way to motorcycle rallies.

 

[Geri]

Depends who I am out with and what for, really. If I go to the pub at lunchtime with work colleagues, or a quick drink after work with a friend, I'll get a glass of white wine.

If I'm out with butchers, or go to the pub in the evening with friends, I'll order a pint of lager. I like premium lagers best, but if I'm in a pub I'll tend to stick to weaker ones like Fosters or Carling, because I get in too much of a mess otherwise.

 

[Ms T]

Wine of any colour, or a gin and tonic. In the winter I sometimes have a whisky mac or a ginger wine. If I'm not drinking I'll have a lime and soda.

 

[felixthecat]

Gin & tonic or a pint of decent cider.

 

[marty21]

varies - i'll try a real ale, always have green king ipa if it's on, or abbot, or london pride, or harveys, or whatever, if none of the above, usually got for a stella or kronenburg, late drink likely to be a JD, with ice

 

[brianx]

I love going for a drink in Holland. If you go to the bar they speak to you in English but if you sit at a table they speak to you in Dutch. It's because British people are the only ones that come to the bar apparently.

 

[Firky]

Guinness and if the Guinness is rank I'll go for something in a bottle or dark spirits.

 

[Looby]

Depends. If just out for a quick drink then probably a pint of lager (Grolsch, San Miguel or whatever really), if out for an evening but not a big piss up then wine or if I am out for the night then double vodka or jack daniels and diet coke or cocktails if somewhere cheap.
I tend to try every one on the menu and then be sick. I drink spirits if I'm going to drink lots because it doesn't make me bloated and the hangovers aren't as bad as with wine.

 

[dynamicbaddog]

Jack Daniels and coke, or if I don't want alcohol lime and soda.

 

[marty21]

sometimes i have a guinness

 

[Hocus Eye.]

Pint of bitter - proper beer that is. London Pride as suggested earlier will do very nicely.

 

[cyberfairy]

if someone else is paying, love cherry beer but tis £4.50 a pint on draught here (Fruuli and Liefmanns)
Glad too see so many lime and soda fans-my fave non booze drink and cheap too. And pub coke and lemonade is so often flat and foul.

 

[Firky]

I never had Fruuli until my friend bought me a pint when I was in Oxfordia. I have since looked for it in every fancy pub I have been in since. I Don't think we're classier enough for it up here

Have it on draught in a few Lancaster pubs-found it cheaper in a few bars in Manchester. Liefmanns Kriek is also mighty fine and a pleasing 6%.

 

[crustychick]

fresh orange with water at the moment...

usually, some fairly non-offensive, not-mingin lager if possible...

 

[bigbry]

9 times out of 10, Fullers London Pride. I am loving that shit.

I'm with you on that - my usual aside when ordering a pint from the barstaff is "Only two good things ever came out of London - the M1 North and Fullers London Pride" !

 

[nellyphant]

I look for decent cider on draught all year around and if there's none to be seen I plump for a nice Belgium beer or a fine cask ale (especially in the colder months).
