'I'll have my usual,landlord...(or something like that)...

[janzman]

...is that what you say or do you change your tipple to suit your mood.Are you always a voddy person or a beer or gin person.When I go to the pub its a real ale I go for ,at home its cider (cant stand canned beer) or red wines.My uncle used to drink gin and tonic at lunchtime and whisky and water in the evening,as a youngster I asked him why he didnt drink the same all the time.He said he changed his drink because he was afraid if he didnt he might get a liking for one of them.:-)

I am a Cask Ale drinker and I like to try different Beers from Different Breweries.
ABV 4.5% or upwards otherwise they are too weak.

[scotman]

I vary a lot; depends on time of year, where I am, what I am doing next day, what mood I am in.

[joggerjayne]

It varies.

In the evening, voddy or G&T, or a cocktail, or wine.

If I go for lunch, I'm usually on my own, so I have a bottle of white wine.

[janzman]

Ilike that idea redman Mu current favourite is Terrier Bitter from the York Brewery .Its a tad under your criteria at 4.2 but very nice.

[Jan1957]

I vary to start with if out for an evening. I either start with white wine and soda or a pint of lager or cider but always end up on vodka and diet coke.

[Answerprancer]

I haven't been a regular in a pub for years but I remember at a pub in Lake District they got to know what I liked (Old Peculier) so it was a case of "your usual?"
('case' as in situation - not crate!)

[DaisyNonna]

Lunchtime, tonic water or vrgin mary.
Winter evening, scotch, and water. Summer evening G&T
Spring ie. nowish, Pimm's. In the forlorn hope it will bring summer. (Eat the fruit to add to my 5 a day)

[lankeela]

Pint of cheap and nasty, fizzy, mass produced, full of chemicals foreign lager if in a pub, little bottles of the same from Sainsbury's if at home (18 for just over a fiver!).
If not driving after about three pints I will go onto Bacardi and Coke but very rare, two or three pints in usually more than enough. Only place they ask me 'the usual'? is the Chinese Take Away! Sweet & Sour Chicken Cantonese Style and a portion of chips - cor, now I fancy that!

[janzman]

Trust me Lankeela, you will grow out of this mental part of your life...fingers crossed:-)

Have to say I'm with redman and the other real ale fans. Unlike redman, though, I'm all for the 'session beers' at around 3.8. or 4.0. Perhaps redman isn't staying long enough?! Does nobody like you, redman? Seriously, though, I went to a beer festival over here on the Isle of Man (we've had several in recent years) at the weekend, and was a bit underwhelmed by the range put on at any one time. I make my own tasting notes alongside those provided by the organisers.
I don't want to hijack this thread for those who aren't interested in real ale, so out of consideration, might we indulge our tastes on another board?

[Buenchico]

Come and join me, Clare, in the St Jude's Brewery Tavern!

Around 20 real ales on offer at any time (who needs a 'festival'?), with typical prices at around £2.60 per pint for those poor ignoramuses who don't know that you pay 50p per pint less if you provide your own pewter tankard ;-)

My locals know my drink so I do not need to order it, it just arrives. In my footy watching pub that's Holt's Best Bitter (£2.10). Also Hameldon from the Rossendale Brewery ((£1.90).

In the house I drink Efes Turkish Pils which I acquired a liking for on holiday.

On hot sunday days drinking outside I like Erdinger Wheat Beer.

Eating out, I like Red Wine. A Chilean Merlot, Or Agentinian Melbec.

[Gromit]

Hot Sunny days even.

[Buenchico]

That sounds like you're in the north-west of England, Gromit.

Around here, in Suffolk, we have to pay rather more. For example, in the Black Boy in Bury St Edmunds (just down the road from the brewery) a pint of Greene King IPA is £2.85, but many other pubs in the town charge £3.10. The other major Suffolk brewery is Adnams but their pubs are usually dearer than GK pubs so (despite the quality of the beer) I'm reluctant to venture into them. In central London I usually expect to pay around £3.60 for a basic pint of bitter but I've paid £4.80 for a pint of premium lager. (Both of those prices are for 'local boozers' rather than for 'tourist traps').

[Buenchico]

Hi Eddie.

Suffolk has some of the lowest wages in the country but, for many items, some of the highest prices!

We'll have to meet up in the Flying Pig one of these days!
