I thought una caña and un tubo were pretty standard ways to ask for a beer throughout Spain but they're not.  I was in Valencia city recently and a small beer is called a quinto (20 cl) and a larger beer is called a doble.

Yes and in Murcia they don't understand "tubo" either.  Dimwits!

The best way to ask a beer is saying: " Me podría dar una cerveza, por favor?", or with just a "cerveza" is enough. 

 

Cheers

After three and a half years it wouldn't really matter. He's probably died of dehydration by now.

Nope, still here...nice to see the thread resurrected and read through the amusing comments again, had a little chuckle at some of the comments.

'Una Pinta y una Caña por favor' has been used several times over the last few years with the desired result.

Cheers...hic!
