Is ale brewed in passage? (5)
I believe the answer is:
aisle
'passage?' is the definition.
(aisle can mean a path or passageway)
'is ale brewed' is the wordplay.
'brewed' is an anagram indicator.
'is'+'ale'='isale'
'isale' anagrammed gives 'AISLE'.
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for aisle that I've seen before include "way for prospective union members?" , "Passage down the side of a church nave" , "that would-be bride hopes to make it up!" , "Corridor" , "Passageway between seating areas" .)
