I believe the answer is:

fan club

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

'ardent ardmirers' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'cooler beat' is the wordplay.
'cooler' becomes 'fan' (something which cools).
'beat' becomes 'club' (to hit with a club).
'fan'+'club'='FAN CLUB'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fan club that I've seen before include "Organised supporters' group" , "Association of devotees" , "Band of followers" , "Admiration society" , "Group of admirers as for pop star" .)
