I had a look at that census of 1891, and found that "The Highlander" public house was actually in the town of Gosport, in the registration area of Alverstoke, hence the description as such on the census. In those days the Licensing sessions for the the pubs in Gosport were held in Fareham, so through the assistance of the Hampshire Advertiser I can tell you that George and his family did not remain long in Gosport after 1891, but later that year moved to a beer house in Arundel-Street, Portsmouth.
So unless there were others by the name of George Brice, then the following information may well apply to your George Brice.
FAREHAM .
Hampshire Telegraph and Sussex Chronicle Saturday, July 18, 1891
On Monday July 13th, the Fareham magistrates held a licensing session and they transferred the licence of the Highlander from George Brice to Nicolas Canny
LICENSING TRANSFERS AT PORTSMOUTH .
Hampshire Telegraph and Sussex Chronicle Saturday, July 23, 1892;
On Tuesday 19th July, the Licensing justices at Portsmouth, held a session when they transferred licences at various beer houses in Portsmouth.
This included the licence of the Black Prince in Arundel-street, Portsmouth from George Brice to Henry Isaacs.
So Your George went from the Highlander in Fareham to the Black Prince in Arundel-street, Portsmouth.
As to what happened after that date the above newspaper has no more references I can find, however I can tell you that George was more than likely in that pub in 1888-see below:
GOSPORT .
Hampshire Telegraph and Sussex Chronicle Saturday, November 24, 1888; Issue 5605.
A Juvenile offender, James Grant, 13, schoolboy, was brought up on remand charged with stealing 6shiilings 3 pence from a till at The Highlander Inn, High-street-Mrs. Brice, the wife of the landlord of the house, said she caught the prisoner behind the counter on Friday afternoon. He threw the money on the floor which he had taken from the till and attempted to escape, but she detained him and gave him into the custody of P.C. New. ………….His father paid the fine of £1, rather than have him flogged!
In 1901 George is at 93, Queens Road, Alverstoke, but in fact, according to the description of the area is in fact off Stoke Road, which is still in what we call Gosport as opposed to Alverstoke, as a Royal Naval Pensioner.
