I believe the answer is:

gale

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'wind' is the definition.
(I know that gale is a type of wind)

'good beer' is the wordplay.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'beer' becomes 'ale' (type of beer).
'g'+'ale'='GALE'

'it would appear gives you' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gale that I've seen before include "Squall" , "Bille from a bladder" , "High wind" , "Force 8 wind" , "Fierce wind" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
