Setter regularly getting cool glass of beer? (5)

I believe the answer is:

stein

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

'glass of beer?' is the definition.
'stein' can be an answer for 'glass' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'of beer?' bit.

'setter regularly getting cool' is the wordplay.
'regularly' means one should take alternating letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
'getting' says to put letters next to each other.
'cool' becomes 'in' (I've seen this in other clues).
The alternating letters of 'setter' are 'ste'.
'ste'+'in'='STEIN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stein that I've seen before include "Large earthenware beer mug" , "Earthenware beer jug" , "Gertrude __, avant-garde US author, d. 1946" , "Inset (anag.)" , "Glass" .)
