One man's ongoing love letter to hoppy beverages
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 […]

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 […]
After the three different states we traversed to get to Wentworth, we decided to stay in NSW for a little while and headed down the road to the Royal Hotel Euston. Pulling up to the Royal Hotel Euston, it definitely didn’t look like most of the other Royal’s we’d been to. It certainly wasn’t one […]
After finishing up the Royals of South Australia in Crystal Brook, and after a fantastic night at the Woolshed Brewery in Murtho, we were back into New South Wales for the Royal Hotel Wentworth. Just on a side note, I will write a post about Woolshed Brewery at some point. It certainly deserves it. Three […]
After departing “Marv” and Moonta we headed on to South Australian Royal #4: the Royal Hotel Crystal Brook. Crystal Brook is a fairly small town and as we pulled in we could see the Royal rising up behind some of the lower buildings. Anticipation started to grow that we might be in store for another […]
The second day of our trip through South Australia commenced with a drive from Adelaide out to the Yorke Peninsula and the Royal Hotel Moonta. Fun fact: Moonta is sometimes known as “Little Cornwall” due to its historical copper mining and large numbers of Cornish immigrants. It was rainy, dreary day when we pulled into […]
