Superior teetotaller sharing out beer! (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

better

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

'superior' is the definition.
(I know that better is a type of superior)

'teetotaller sharing out beer' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'teetotaller' could be 'tt' (abbreviation) and 'tt' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'beer' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for better that I've seen before include "Top" , "Comparatively good" , "Recovered from illness - more satisfactory" , "More satisfactory or partly recovered" , "Not as bad" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
