City serving beer and fancy pop (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aleppo

'city' is the definition.
(Aleppo is an example)

'beer and fancy pop' is the wordplay.
'beer' becomes 'ale' (type of beer).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'fancy' indicates anagramming the letters.
'pop' anagrammed gives 'ppo'.
'ale'+'ppo'='ALEPPO'

'serving' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for aleppo that I've seen before include "Ancient city, in Syria" , "Largest city in Syria before the massive damage of the civil war" , "War-torn city of Syria" , "Foreign city" , "Middle East city" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
