One man's ongoing love letter to hoppy beverages
After finishing the Day 2 Royals with Warialda and an awesome night with the Jatz-loving emu in Narrabri, we set out bright and early for Day 3 of the trip. And the first stop on Day 3, was the Royal Hotel Tambar Springs. Tambar Springs is one of those places where you put it into […]
We departed the sporty Royal at Moree and headed east for a not-too-long drive this time. And soon we arrived at Royal number two for the day: the Royal Hotel Warialda. I must admit, I was expecting a tiny barely-there town. But Warialda has a bit too it. There were multiple decent looking pubs and […]
With memories of the mulled wine from Coonabarabran in our heads, we set off on day 2 of the trip and headed a couple of hours up the road to the Royal Hotel Moree. We arrived at the Royal Hotel Moree mid-morning on a weekday. So we knew going in that what we saw of […]
After bidding goodbye to the Royal vine at Gilgandra, we headed back out on the road for one last stretch in the car. And after about an hour, we arrived at the last Royal of the day: the Royal Hotel Coonabarabran. We had some fairly high hopes as the Royal in Coonabarabran had been fairly […]
After departing Yeoval, we had a bit more of a straightforward drive to our next Royal. So after about an hour and a half we arrive at the Royal Hotel Gilgandra. The streets were still glistening with rain from the storm that we had just ridden out at the Royal in Yeoval. And we arrived […]
Editor’s Note – We had a few technical difficulties on the first try of publishing the post for the Royal Hotel Yeoval. Hopefully this one works better After a longer than anticipated break, the blog is back! Apologies for the false promises of beer and brewery reviews in the interim. But now, not only is […]
After a longer than anticipated break, the blog is back! Apologies for the false promises of beer and brewery reviews in the interim. But now, not only is the blog back, but so is the Royal Tour! It’s been a fair while since the last Royal up in Mundubbera, but we’ve just returned from our […]
After finishing up at Mt Larcom the day before and a great night out in Agnes Water and 1770, we departed for the last Royal on this leg of the tour: the Royal Hotel Mundubbera. The leg from Agnes Water to Mundubbera was our longest of this leg of the tour clocking in at about […]
After the slightly longer stay at Rosedale, it was getting towards late afternoon by the time we arrived at the last pub for the day, and the northernmost point of the trip: the Royal Hotel Mt Larcom. The Royal seems like a workers pub on the highway, just outside of Gladstone. It was another one […]
After spending a bit of time and a couple of schooners basking in the glow of hitting our 100th Royal Hotel in Tiaro, we eventually had to move on with the Tour. There was no time to rest on our laurels. Those remaining 30 or so Royals weren’t going to visit themselves. And the first […]
