Technophobes outdid regular hooking into beers? (8)
I believe the answer is:
luddites
'beers?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for luddites that I've seen before include "Opponents of new technology" , "They were opposed to mechanisation" , "19th century English machinebreakers" , "Machinery-breakers of early 19th century" , "Oooonents of new technology, or old machinery wreckers" .)
