Who carries the beer? (6)
I believe the answer is:
porter
'beer?' is the definition.
(type of beer)
'who carries the' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'porer' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for porter that I've seen before include "Bearer" , "Luggage-carrier and dark drink" , "alcoholic drink" , "Bitter beer - luggage carrier" , "Drink for a hotel worker" .)
