Can a country pub save a town?

This week on Chat On Tap, I sit down with Tim Allan, founder of The Local, a platform dedicated to telling the stories of Australia's pubs, the publicans who run them, and the communities that keep them alive.

We chat about why country pubs are so much more than somewhere to grab a beer, the challenges they're facing, and the incredible characters Tim has met while travelling Australia documenting these iconic venues.

Whether you're passionate about pubs, regional Australia, great storytelling or simply love discovering unique places, this episode is for you.

🍺 In this episode:

• Why country pubs matter to local communities
• How The Local was created
• Travelling Australia in search of great pubs
• Preserving Australian pub culture
• Creating content around authentic stories
• The future of country hospitality
