English kind of beer taken up to feast (6)
I believe the answer is:
regale
'feast' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'english kind of beer taken up' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'kind of beer' becomes 'lager' (I've seen this before).
'taken up' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'e'+'lager'='elager'
'elager' in reverse letter order is 'REGALE'.
'to' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for regale that I've seen before include "Feast, give pleasure to" , "Lavishly supply" , "Entertain lavishly" , "Feed or entertain well" , "Fete" .)
