What beer is called Numbers in the UK?

Watching the Detectorists and a round of drinks was brought to the table.
The server said, Cider, Numbers, Numbers handing the two beers to the guys and an Aperol Spritz for the good wife.
Why Numbers?

Jimmy Hill was a sports commentator in the U.K. who had a huge chin and would basically go on and on in describing stuff, boring the pants off the viewers. As a kid, I would stroke my chin and say “Jimmy Hill” or “Itchy Chin” usually to describe someone waffling-on, or as a motion to indicate I didn’t believe what they said.

Jimmy Waffle On was a regional variation.
