Endure the French type of beer (4,3)
I believe the answer is:
last out
'endure' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'french type of beer' is the wordplay.
'french type of' becomes 'la' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'beer' becomes 'stout' (type of beer).
'la'+'stout'='LAST OUT'
'the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for last out that I've seen before include "Keep on going" , "Survive for as long as is required" , "Endure" , "one leaving after everyone else" , "when all the others have gone" .)
