'tucker' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.

'brewed' indicates an anagram.
'teas' with letters rearranged gives 'EATS'.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eats that I've seen before include "fare" , "Chews" , "Takes food" , "Sate (anag.)" , "Provisions" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
