Local ordering ale or gin (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

regional

'local' is the definition.
(in a particular region)

'ordering ale or gin' is the wordplay.
'ordering' is an anagram indicator.
'ale'+'or'+'gin'='aleorgin'
'aleorgin' anagrammed gives 'REGIONAL'.

(Other definitions for regional that I've seen before include "of the district" , "Territorial" , "Like some food" , "From a geographical area" , "Relating to one area" .)
