Would you please get me some beer?
Situation:
Suppose that we are both in the garden. I want to drink some beer. The beer is in the fridge in the kitchen. What should I gently ask you; "Would you please get me some beer?", "Would you please go (and) get me some beer?", "Would you please bring me some beer?" or "Would you please fetch me some beer?"
If none of the above are correct, what should I say/ask?
Thank you.

It kind of depends on your relationship with the other person, whether there is some reason (due to intimacy or respective roles) why they should do what you ask, whether there is some particular reason why you can't get it yourself, whether they are going indoors anyway, etc. If you say those things out of the blue to someone you don't know very well, for example, it would probably sound presumptuous or rude.
