Provider of beer that’s less fattening (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

local

This clue is a double definition.

'provider of beer' is the first definition.
(local can mean someone's local pub )

'less fattening' is the second definition.
(as in lo-cal or low in calories)

'that's' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for local that I've seen before include "Nieghbourhood pub or its customer" , "Regional; a pub" , "Nearby pub" , "Restricted number" , "Pub around the corner?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
