We asked hosts from the MA's list of top-20 pubs for this year's most fashionable drinks
Rose & Crown, Warwick and the Fleece, Witney
Peroni has sold very well, Timothy Taylor's Landlord has taken off as have Bombay Sapphire and Belgian beers Staropramen and Hoegaarden.
The Alford Arms, Frithsden, Hertfordshire
Peroni is popular with our city-boy clientele. Sol had a great summer. Our real ales are popular Oxford Blue because it's low alcohol and Marston's Pedigree because it's well known. Customers are ordering Tanqueray because it's different.
The Swan, Little Totham, Essex
Bombay Sapphire has really surprised us this year. It's well packaged and tastes great.
The White Horse, Parsons Green, London
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and Korenwolf, distributed by Coors, are doing fantastically. Brakspear's Ordinary Bitter is also having a revival.
The Greys, Brighton
Our specialty is Belgian beers we sell 14 different types. In terms of real ales Harvey's Best does well because it's local. Tuaca is also popular here because it was first introduced in Brighton.
The Guinea, Mayfair, London
Budvar is second to Becks for us. In other categories the dominant brands are Foster's, Smirnoff and Gordon's Gin.
Builder's Arms, Chelsea, London
Our bestseller is Corona. People are drinking it in the winter as well as the summer. Peroni and Budvar are also doing well.
The Falkland Arms, Great Tew, Oxfordshire
We only stock Budvar because it sells well and tastes better than Budweiser. We're more restricted in our lager as we're tied, so we stock Carlsberg.
The Open House, Brighton
Corona is doing well, San Miguel on draught is our bestseller. Red Stripe is another success and the Havana range has also done well.
The Middle Bell, Barton-under-Needwood, Staffordshire
In our spirits category Famous Grouse has sold really well. Other bestsellers are our draught Marstons Pedigree and guest ale Ruddles County.
The Boot Inn, Lapworth, Warwickshire
Peroni is starting to do well as is Bombay Sapphire. Speckled Hen on draught is also popular because it's 5.2% and seen as a gentleman's pint.
The Skyrack, Headingley, Leeds
We launched Coors Fine Light in the middle of the year and it's been really popular. We only put XXXX in last September and it's really taking off.
Square and Compass, Dorset
Bitburger has sold very well because it's a low-alcohol lager and we are four miles away from any town. Palmers Dorset Gold does well as it's local.
The Crown Inn, Snape, Suffolk
Adnams Bitter is our bestselling real ale but Broadside has been going quickly too. Bombay Sapphire is also doing well this year.
Babbity Bowsters, Glasgow
Magners Cider has sold well as it has some good marketing behind it. Budvar has done well as has Peter's Well from the local Houston brewery.
The Lamb & Flag, Covent Garden, London
Peroni is our bestseller because it's genuinely imported. Budvar and Lowenbrau are doing well for the same reason.
The Grenadier, Belgravia
Bombay Sapphire has been very good this year people see it as more upmarket than Gordon's. Jack Daniels is also doing well because it's not too strong.
