Container for beer in tins out East (5)
I believe the answer is:
stein
'container' is the definition.
(stein is a kind of container)
'in tins out east' is the wordplay.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'east' becomes 'e' (synonyms).
'tins' with letters rearranged gives 'stin'.
'stin' placed around 'e' is 'STEIN'.
'for beer' is the link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stein that I've seen before include "Gertrude __, avant-garde US author, d. 1946" , "Inset (anag.)" , "Large earthenware beer mug" , "German tankard" , "Glass" .)
