Crossword Genius

Drank at spread, producing beer mug (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tankard

'beer mug' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'drank at spread' is the wordplay.
'spread' indicates an anagram.
'drank'+'at'='drankat'
'drankat' with letters rearranged gives 'TANKARD'.

'producing' is the link.

(Other definitions for tankard that I've seen before include "A drinking mug with handle" , "Beer-glass" , "Drinking vessel with a handle" , "Beer-mug" , "One-handled drinking mug" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
