Believe cider is brewed at central Acton (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

credit

'believe' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'cider is brewed at central acton' is the wordplay.
'is brewed' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'being brewed' mean this).
'at' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'central' means to look at the middle letters.
The middle of 'acton' is 't'.
'cider' is an anagram of 'credi'.
'credi'+'t'='CREDIT'

(Other definitions for credit that I've seen before include "Direct (anag) - tick" , "Time to pay, or due recognition" , "it's on the cards?" , "In this, you have money in the bank" , "Positive bank balance" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
