'reliable' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'brewing ale with pub machine' is the wordplay.
'brewing' indicates anagramming the letters.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'pub'+'machine'='pubmachine'
'ale' after 'pubmachine' is 'pubmachineale'.
'pubmachineale' with letters rearranged gives 'UNIMPEACHABLE'.

'that's 100%' acts as a link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
