One employed to carry the beer (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

porter

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the beer' is the definition.
(type of beer)

'one employed to carry' is the wordplay.
'one employed' becomes 'er' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'carry' becomes 'port' (porting is a kind of carrying).
'er' after 'port' is 'PORTER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for porter that I've seen before include "alcoholic drink" , "One fetches and carries the drink" , "Station worker" , "Cole - - , songwriter" , "Cole - - , composer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
