I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'can tavern device' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'be getting pure sort of elected member?' is the wordplay.
'getting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'sort of' is an anagram indicator.
'elected member?' becomes 'MP' (Member of Parliament).
'pure' anagrammed gives 'erpu'.
'be'+'erpu'+'mp'='BEER-PUMP'
