"For God's sake, a pot of small ale" is the first line in the second section of the induction to The Taming of the Shrew, and is spoken by Christopher Sly, the drunk for whom the play will be played. "Small ale" is ale with a low alcoholic content. Small ale and small beer were more popular drinks than water, since the alcohol tended to sterilize dangerous bacteria, but was not enough to get you drunk. Sly is obviously placing an order with one of the servants hovering around, to bring him a beer.
