One man's ongoing love letter to hoppy beverages
Just a short hour’s drive up the road from the Royal Hotel Yarraman is the next stop on the Tour and Royal number 99(!): the Royal Hotel Murgon. Murgon (pronounced closer to mer-gun rather than mer-gone) is a decent sized town with a couple of big old Queenslander style pubs. The Royal Hotel Murgon is […]
And we’re back! After a months long break, it was finally time to hit the road again and get back on the Royal Tour! It seems like forever ago since we had our last Royal beer way back in Armidale. But we hit the road once again, heading back to Queensland and the Royal Hotel […]
The next beer to feature on the blog during this Royal interlude is the absolutely brilliant Arrangement WCIPA from Bracket Brewing in collaboration with Kicks Brewing. Now, I’m not going to bury the headline on this one. This may just be the best IPA I have ever had. It is at the very least in […]
It’s been a little while, but the blog is back for 2026! We haven’t yet been to another Royal since Armidale last year (although we do have a trip coming up in 3 weeks so stay tuned for new Royals soon). And I’ve already written about the great alcoholic experiences on Tasmania’s Bass Strait islands […]
Ok, first off, I know the blog is called ‘Cory Loves Beer’. But fun fact, Cory also loves whisky. So just for this one time, and one time only, let’s just pretend the blog is called ‘Cory Loves Beer AND Whisky’. Trust me, Furneaux Distillery on Flinders Island is worth it. In my last post, […]
A few weeks back, my wife and I were lucky enough to take an awesome trip down to the Bass Strait. We spent several nights on both Flinders Island and King Island. Both were every bit as amazing as I hoped they would be. And as an added bonus, King Island has itself a pretty […]
With the Royal Tour currently on a pause until our February trip, the blog will return to it’s roots with the first of a series of beer and brewery write-ups and recommendations. These might not be as regular as the Royal posts, but they will definitely be forthcoming. And the first brewery of this series […]
After a great night in Tenterfield, it was time to pull ourselves together and head back to Armidale for our flight home. But first, there was one more Royal to hit on this trip: the Royal Hotel Armidale. So after an excellent breakfast at Bad Manners (highly recommended if you happen to be in Tenterfield […]
After saying goodbye to Tracy and Paul in Casino, we hit the road and headed for our next stop on the Tour, the Royal Hotel Tenterfield. Before getting to Tenterfield, we did make a cheeky stop in at the Lunatic Hotel in the town of Drake. I would highly recommend it to anyone taking the […]
After our last Royal in Inverell on Friday we stayed the night in the town of Deepwater and hit up the fantastic Deepwater Brewery. And Deepwater Brewery will definitely be getting its own post in the coming weeks. But for now it’s on to our next Royal, the Royal Hotel Casino. The first three Royals […]
