Alcoholic drink put out near bowl (5,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

brown ale

'alcoholic drink' is the definition.

'out near bowl' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters.
'near'+'bowl'='nearbowl'
'nearbowl' anagrammed gives 'BROWN ALE'.

'put' is the link.

(Other definitions for brown ale that I've seen before include "Noble war (anag) - drink" , "bottled beer" , "Dark, malty beer" , "Dark, mild beer" , "Type of beer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sun.
