Traditional brewers duck new ideas (3,6)
I believe the answer is:
tea ladies
'traditional brewers' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'duck new ideas' is the wordplay.
'duck' becomes 'teal' (teal is a type of duck).
'new' indicates an anagram.
'ideas' anagrammed gives 'adies'.
'teal'+'adies'='TEA LADIES'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
