Costly brew (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

steep

I believe this is a double definition.

'costly' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'brew' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for steep that I've seen before include "Precipitous - exorbitant" , "Rising sharply" , "Hard for cycling" , "Lofty" , "pickle" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
