Show-stopper for fellow at home with beer (6)

I believe the answer is:

finale

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

'show-stopper' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'fellow at home with beer' is the wordplay.
'fellow' becomes 'f' (abbreviation - of a society etc.).
'at home' becomes 'in' (similar in meaning).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'beer' becomes 'ale' (type of beer).
'f'+'in'+'ale'='FINALE'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
