Vessel brewery carries back and forth (4)

I believe the answer is:

ewer

'vessel' is the definition.
(I know that ewer is a type of vessel)

'brewery carries back and forth' is the wordplay.
'carries back and forth' indicates a hidden word (the answer is hidden backwards and forwards).
'EWER' can be found hidden inside 'brewery'.

(Other definitions for ewer that I've seen before include "A type of jug" , "Sort of jug" , "Oversized jug" , "Jar for water" , "Water-jar" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
