Winchester's a great little place for a crawl. Been there a few times so happy to help organise the list...

It looks like between you and Moby there is a very thorough knowledge of virtually ALL the pubs in Winchester....so I look forward to seeing the list.

I'm sure we can cobble something together.

Initial Pub thoughts and not in any crawl order (timings need to be checked ect) , pubs for consideration as follows,

Must do pubs IMO....
Albion
Black Boy
Wykham Arms
Hyde Tavern
Fulflood Arms* (this ones a bit out of town but well worth the look for the more intrepid)

Other considerations....

Old Gaolhouse (Spoons for earlybirds and those that way inclined)
King Alfred (pairs nicely with The Hyde Tavern)
St James Tavern (nearest of listed pubs to The Fulflood)
Overdraft ( Crafty option)
Old Vine
Eclipse Inn (for the pub and probably not interesting beer)
Alfies
Queen Inn (another involving a bit of a hike)

Thats 13 pubs, maybe Quinno or others have other suggestions that we can add and whittle down to a solid crawl.

Yeah that's pretty much how I'd line them up as well. Those 5 'must-do' pubs I agree with. The Albion is right by the station so ideal for a first and/or final pint.

Westgate could be a wild card. I was unimpressed on my first post-refurb visit in 2017 (!) and haven't felt the need to go back since so no new info from me.

The Queen has been very impressive on each of my visits. As mentioned it is a bit of a hike so one for the more mobile and energetic. WhatPub claims an 11am opening time. In contrast, the Hyde (which is a bit away from the main drag) doesn't open until 6 on weekdays, so I'd suggest that's the final scheduled stop.
