I believe the answer is:

aisle

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

'supermarket lane' is the definition.
'aisle' can be an answer for 'lane' (thesaurus). I am not sure about the 'supermarket' bit.

'one succeeded stocking beer' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'succeeded' becomes 's' (genealogical abbreviation).
'stocking' is an insertion indicator ('stock' can mean 'fill').
'beer' becomes 'ale' (type of beer).
'i'+'s'='is'
'is' put into 'ale' is 'AISLE'.

'in' is the link.
