Dead brewery revitalised with fruit (8)
I believe the answer is:
dewberry
'fruit' is the definition.
(I know that dewberry is a aggregate fruit)
'dead brewery revitalised' is the wordplay.
'dead' becomes 'd' (abbreviation in government records).
'revitalised' indicates an anagram.
'brewery' anagrammed gives 'ewberry'.
'd'+'ewberry'='DEWBERRY'
'with' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for dewberry that I've seen before include "Fruit" , "Bramble" .)
