Craft ale pint suddenly went up (5)
I believe the answer is:
leapt
'suddenly went up' is the definition.
(leap can mean to shoot or go up suddenly)
'craft ale pint' is the wordplay.
'craft' is an anagram indicator (letters must be crafted into a new form).
'pint' becomes 'pt' (abbreviation).
'ale' is an anagram of 'lea'.
'lea'+'pt'='LEAPT'
(Other definitions for leapt that I've seen before include "gone up dramatically" , "Made spring" , "Vaulted" , "rose fast" , "Jumped, sprang" .)
