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

'a drinks container' is the definition.
'beer barrel' can be an answer for 'container' (beer barrel is a kind of container). I'm not sure about the 'a drinks' bit.

'working party runs to quickly move' is the wordplay.
'working party' becomes 'bee' (social event for work, as in a sewing bee).
'runs' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation).
'to quickly move' becomes 'barrel' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'bee'+'r'+'barrel'='BEER-BARREL'
