Where the Syrians mix pop with their beer? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aleppo

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

'where the syrians mix' is the definition.
The answer is a location as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'pop with their beer?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'pop' is 'ppo' which is located in the answer.
'beer?' could be 'ale' (type of beer) and 'ale' is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for aleppo that I've seen before include "City in Syria - lop ape (anag)" , "Largest city in Syria before the massive damage of the civil war" , "Tomorrow" , "Ancient city, in Syria" , "Lap Poe around the Syrian city" .)
