One man's ongoing love letter to hoppy beverages
The next stop on this leg of the Royal Tour was the final one in Greater Sydney. Unless you count the Blue Mountains. In which case it would be the second last. But I don’t. So the last Royal in Greater Sydney was the Royal Hotel Richmond. By the time we had finished our beers […]
The next beer to feature is yet another return to Mountain Culture and the awesome beers they continually pump out. This time, it’s the legendary Zero Mississippi Triple IPA. If you’ve read the blog at all, you know one thing: I love hops. That and I’ve got something of an obsession with going to pubs […]
With the Royal Tour’s big smoke leg in our rearview mirror, it was time head back out to regional New South Wales. So naturally, the logical place to start this next leg was…Western Sydney. Our sojourn back out to the Central West started with a detour via the Royal Hotel Camden. With the excitement that […]
Before continuing on with tales from our next leg of the Royal Tour, I wanted to throw in one more beer review. That beer is the absolutely brilliant Huddle for Warmth DIPA from Bracket Brewing in Alexandria in Sydney. Yet another awesome brewery waving the craft beer flag for the Inner West. I’ve had a couple of […]
Finally it was time for the Big Smoke leg of the Royal Tour to come to an end. We departed the solidly acceptable confines of Carlton for our final stop on this leg of the tour: The Royal Hotel Sutherland. I would be lying if I said we rocked up to the Royal Hotel Sutherland […]
With our expectations sufficiently brought back down to earth, we departed Granville for the Royal Hotel Carlton. “Surely”, we reasoned, “this Royal is going to fall somewhere in between the extremes of Ryde and Granville”. It did. Yes, I do realise that is exceedingly lukewarm praise. But this was a lukewarm pub. But I mean […]
For the first beer-specific post in a little while, we head back down to Hobart and Fox Friday Craft Brewery. I’d been looking to try some Fox Friday beer for a little while and finally pulled the trigger and ordered a few beers. Easily the pick of the lot was Feel Me Flow Hazy DIPA. […]
Fresh off of our extremely pleasant surprise at the Royal Hotel Ryde, the Royal Tour rolled on through the suburbs of middle Sydney. ‘Who knows’, we thought, ‘maybe Sydney’s heavily concreted central suburbs were actually hiding a trove of hidden gems’. Then we arrived at the Royal Hotel Granville. From the outside it looked nice […]
Amongst the steady diet of Royal Hotel’s I’ll endeavour to get back to the blog’s roots a bit over the next several weeks with some brewery and beer recommendations. And the first brewery off that rank is Flamin Galah Brewing Co in Huskisson. I recently spent a weekend down in Jervis Bay with a couple […]
Editor’s Note: With John off on an overseas jaunt, this will be his last post until his return. So enjoy it while you can as I’ll be back on posting duties from here on out. First stop on todays section of the Royal/I don’t feel like a beer so early Tour was the Royal Hotel […]
