Ross

I believe the answer is:

rebuke

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

'censure for bad' is the definition.
'rebuke' can be an answer for 'censure' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'for bad' bit.

'distribution of beer around the country' is the wordplay.
'distribution of' indicates an anagram.
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'the country' becomes 'UK' (United Kingdom).
'beer' anagrammed gives 'rebe'.
'rebe' placed around 'uk' is 'REBUKE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rebuke that I've seen before include "Sharply criticize" , "A telling off" , "Remonstration" , "Sharply criticise" , "Express sharp disapproval" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
