Crossword Genius

Such liquor is consumed locally (4)

I believe the answer is:

malt

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

'such liquor' is the definition.
'malt' can be an answer for 'liquor' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'such' bit.

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for malt that I've seen before include "Pre-soaked kiln-dried cereal grain" , "Whisky ingredient" , "Cereal grain for distilling" , "Brewing material" , "Brewing ingredient derived from grain" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
