Pull up a stool and get comfortable! In this episode of Tall Boy Radio, Beans sits down with Thomas Vosper, the author and historian behind the acclaimed series of books on Historic Pub Crawls.

Thomas has spent years documenting the architecture, folklore, and liquid history of the UK’s most iconic watering holes. Today, he shares that wealth of knowledge with us as we dive deep into the culture of the Great British Boozer.

The State of the Pub: We tackle the sobering reality of the challenges facing our local pubs today—from rising costs to changing social habits—and why preserving these "community living rooms" is more important than ever.
Walking Through History: Thomas takes us on a verbal tour of some of his favorite historic routes, sharing stories of highwaymen, literary legends, and the ancient ales that fueled them.
The Ultimate Road Trip: Beans is joined by his cousin Beau this May for an ambitious, epic pub crawl spanning from London to Edinburgh. Thomas weighs in with expert advice on how to survive the long trek, which "must-see" historic stops they can't afford to miss, and how to pace oneself when the route is hundreds of miles long.
What’s Next for Thomas: We get an exclusive look at his upcoming projects and where his research is taking him next.

Whether you're a craft beer connoisseur, a history buff, or someone who just loves a good local, this episode is a celebration of the heritage found at the bottom of a pint glass.

"A pub isn't just a place to drink; it’s a living museum of the British soul." — Thomas Vosper
