Hotel employee finds thing affected by beer (5,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

night porter

'hotel employee' is the definition.

'thing affected by beer' is the wordplay.
'affected' indicates an anagram.
'by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'beer' becomes 'porter' (type of beer).
'thing' is an anagram of 'night'.
'night'+'porter'='NIGHT-PORTER'

'finds' acts as a link.

(Another definition for night porter that I've seen is " Building attendant for the hours of darkness".)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
