Dog brought up beer (8)

I believe the answer is:

airedale

'dog' is the definition.
(Airedale is an example)

'brought up beer' is the wordplay.
'brought up' becomes 'aired'.
'beer' becomes 'ale' (I've seen this before).
'aired'+'ale'='AIREDALE'

(Other definitions for airedale that I've seen before include "Canine breed" , "River valley; rough-coated terrier" , "Dog from Yorkshire" , "Barker" , "Yorkshire valley" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
