'homespun' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'savoury biscuit accompanies quantity of beer' is the wordplay.
'savoury biscuit' becomes 'cracker' (I've seen this before).
'accompanies' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'quantity of beer' becomes 'barrel' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'cracker'+'barrel'='CRACKER-BARREL'

Can you help me to learn more?
