Boy who brewed cider for the college head (6)

I believe the answer is:

cedric

'boy' is the definition.

'brewed cider for the college head' is the wordplay.
'brewed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'for' says to put letters next to each other.
'the college head' becomes 'c' (I've seen this in other clues).
'cider' anagrammed gives 'cedri'.
'cedri'+'c'='CEDRIC'

'who' is the link.

(Another definition for cedric that I've seen is " Man's name".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
