Where the Swiss brew ales at Wembley Central? (5)
I believe the answer is:
basle
'where the swiss' is the definition.
The answer is a location as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'brew ales at wembley central?' is the wordplay.
'brew' indicates an anagram.
'at' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'central?' means to look at the middle letters (I've seen 'central' mean this).
The central letter of 'wembley' is 'b'.
'ales' is an anagram of 'asle'.
'asle' put after 'b' is 'BASLE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for basle that I've seen before include "Swiss city and canton" , "Swiss city for sable?" , "European city" , "City of northwest Switzerland" , "Canton of NW Switzerland" .)
