'a big glass of beer' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'no chores for a change' is the wordplay.
'for a change' indicates anagramming the letters.
'no'+'chores'='nochores'
'nochores' anagrammed gives 'SCHOONER'.

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for schooner that I've seen before include "Old sailing ship and tall sherry glass" , "boat" , "In the main it is" , "Old sailing vessel and large glass" , "Swift sailing vessel - sherry glass" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
