Crikey. What has come over Araucaria?

He is being nice today (ie, I've managed about half of it!)

But I can't see these:

5d. There's jolly good beer up at the Crown etc (7) R _ G _ L _ A

... (only REGALIA fits, but why??)

4d. Beginning of concession to limited working of the mind (7) T _ O _ G _ T

18d. Artist to draw life as competition (3,4) R _ T, _ A _ E

???

Looks like 18d is Rat Race. 4d Thought.and 5d Regalia The reasoning around this is a bit obscure jj.
5. It is A1 and lager reversed.
4d) Looks like thought?
5d. Regal & ale

A1 LAGER backwards ... I like that.

18d RA=an abbreviation for artist (Royal Academy for Arts) TRACE=draw.
