Spot beer, getting round in (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

point

'spot' is the definition.
(I know that spot can be written as point)

'beer getting round in' is the wordplay.
'beer' becomes 'pot' (pub name for large glass of beer in Australia).
'getting round' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'pot' going around 'in' is 'POINT'.

(Other definitions for point that I've seen before include "rocks?" , "Fielder" , "Aim, full stop" , "Use" , "Land jutting into sea" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
