Beers consumed by damn stupid bloke from Richmond? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dalesman

'bloke from richmond?' is the definition.
(Richmond is part of the Yorkshire Dales)

'beers consumed by damn stupid' is the wordplay.
'beers' becomes 'ales' (I've seen this before).
'consumed by' indicates putting letters inside.
'stupid' is an anagram indicator (in a stupid order).
'damn' with letters rearranged gives 'dman'.
'ales' placed inside 'dman' is 'DALESMAN'.

(Other definitions for dalesman that I've seen before include "native of Yorkshire" , "Northerner" , "who may live in Yorkshire?" , "one from Yorkshire" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
