At the risk of offering a gender stereotype, I would suggest a women's side would be a better bet. Yes, I know that many female Morris people drink pints along with the men, but I also recall being out with several sides when the landlord of a pub we were dancing at came out with jugs of ale for the performers. One of the 'ladies' sides went into a little huddle, and then sent a spokesperson to the landlord to ask if they could have half-pints of shandy.
