One man's ongoing love letter to hoppy beverages
This is the second of John’s posts after a stellar job on the Richmond post. I’ll be back next post, but for now, on to the Royal Melbourne! Sheer delight from Cory, Dad and myself upon getting to the Royal Hotel Melbourne. 30% of that was because we were keen again for a beer and […]
Editor’s Note: following the Essendon post, the next two posts will be written by John. So please enjoy his recounting of the next couple of Royals starting with the Royal Hotel Richmond. Or don’t and I’ll be back in a couple post’s time so you can just hold out for that too Royal Hotels come […]
And just like that it was time to embark on an entirely new leg of the Tour. With Portland still feeling like just a week or two ago, we once again boarded a plane and this time headed down to Melbourne. And on this leg, John and I had a special guest: John’s dad Rod. […]
Reluctantly, and after a significantly longer stay than expected, we set off from Horsham. And three hours later we found ourselves at the final stop on this epic leg of the Tour: the Royal Hotel Portland. Even though we only ended up being there for one evening, I really took to Portland. It’s a cool […]
And so we readied ourselves to depart the pleasant salty confines of Sea Lake. However, the rest of the guys no longer trusted my ability to check pub opening times properly. And it turned out they were right. When we rang our next destination, the Royal Hotel Horsham, we found out that the pub wouldn’t […]
After a somewhat calm and relaxing night in Kerang, we were up bright and early the next morning and on our way to the next Royal of the trip, the Royal Hotel Sea Lake. Unfortunately, as it turns out, we were up and off a little bit too bright and a little bit too early. […]
After dragging ourselves away from the Royal Hotel Koondrook beer garden, piled back in the car, and headed for our final Royal of the day: the Royal Hotel Kerang. Kerang is a decent sized town so we were optimistic there might be a bit happening on a Saturday night. Unfortunately that didn’t quite end up […]
After crossing the big halfway mark of the Tour at Barham, we headed off on the massive interstate trek across the Murray to the Royal Hotel Koondrook. As a matter of fact, the trip was not at all massive. At 3 minutes (2.1km) it was actually the shortest distance between Royals on the entire tour. […]
As we’ve hit another 10 Royals, it’s time to update our running list of our favourites. These are our 10 favourite Royals of the first 70 we’ve visited. There has been a bit of a shake up towards the top this time around Just a reminder about our criteria: So here we go with our […]
After departing Euston and it’s questionable age claims in New South Wales we drove 2 1/2 hours through Victoria to arrive back in New South Wales and the Royal Hotel Barham. The drive wasn’t as long as some of the others we’d done, but something about it felt long. There wasn’t much to see other […]
