One beer at German festival for relative genius [8]
Answer
This is hardly cryptic, if you know how British crosswords work...
Einstein
"German festival" suggests beer steins, a common sight, and more-or-less a trope to non-Germans. "One beer" would be "ein Bier" in German, but it could also be "one stein (of beer)", or "ein Stein". The "relative genius" clinches it; Albert Einstein was unquestionably a genius, and is best known for his Theory of Relativity.
