Revel in brewing alcoholic drink (7)
I believe the answer is:
livener
'alcoholic drink' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'revel in brewing' is the wordplay.
'brewing' indicates an anagram.
'revel'+'in'='revelin'
'revelin' with letters rearranged gives 'LIVENER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for livener that I've seen is " a real pick up".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
