lager

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

'composition' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'intoxicating elgar' is the wordplay.
'intoxicating' is an anagram indicator.
'elgar' anagrammed gives 'LAGER'.

Can you help me to learn more?
