It's sold by the yard

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ale

'it's sold by the yard' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ale that I've seen before include "Beer procured in sales" , "Alcoholic drink" , "A drink; sounds like become ill" , "English beer, may be bitter" , "festival" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
