Maiden getting beers for blokes (5)

I believe the answer is:

males

'blokes' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'maiden getting beers' is the wordplay.
'maiden' becomes 'm' (cricket abbreviation).
'getting' says to put letters next to each other.
'beers' becomes 'ales' (ale is a type of beer).
'm'+'ales'='MALES'

'for' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
