The beer is put inside in the passage (5)
I believe the answer is:
aisle
'passage' is the definition.
(aisle is a kind of passage)
'the beer is put inside' is the wordplay.
'the beer' becomes 'ale' (I've seen this before).
'put inside' is an insertion indicator.
'ale' enclosing 'is' is 'AISLE'.
'in the' is the link.
(Other definitions for aisle that I've seen before include "Passage between seating areas" , "Passage between shelves in supermarket" , "Part of supermarket" , "Church walkway" , "The way to get married in church?" .)
