'version of fruity beer' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'new brewery tsar dismissing english' is the wordplay.
'new' is an anagram indicator.
'dismissing' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'brewery'+'tsar'='brewerytsar'
'brewerytsar' with 'e' taken away is 'brwerytsar'.
'brwerytsar' with letters rearranged gives 'STRAWBERRY'.
