They're shameless producing beer as port (10)

I believe the answer is:

reprobates

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

'they're shameless' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adverb but the answer is not.

'producing beer as port' is the wordplay.
'producing' is an anagram indicator.
'beer'+'as'+'port'='beerasport'
'beerasport' with letters rearranged gives 'REPROBATES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for reprobates that I've seen before include "those accused of patronising loose women?" , "Shameless people" , "Rogues" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
