Pubs play an important part in the social structure of the UK. They are places where all ages and social classes mix to talk, do business, or just spend a couple of quiet hours before heading home in the evening. There are many different types of beer available in pubs. Traditional British beer is called bitter, or ale, and is usually served at room temperature. If you prefer a cold beer, ask for stout, which is a cold, black beer and takes a long time to pour. So don't be surprised if you have to wait for it. Another drink is cider. This is like beer, but it is made from apples so it can taste sweet. Wine, red or white, is normally available in all pubs, as are spirits such as whisky or gin. It is not, however, necessary to drink alcohol. Non-alcoholic drinks are called soft drinks. You can have juice, lemonade or cola, among others.
