One man's ongoing love letter to hoppy beverages
After a longer than anticipated delay, we continue our series on the Royal Hotels of Sydney as told by John. This week John takes aim at the Royal Hotel Darlington. I’ve had some good times at this one during my uni days, but John was unimpressed (to be fair, justifiably so on the day). But […]
Continuing on from Randwick, the Royal Tour ventured into the posh confines of the Royal Hotel Paddington. Once again John picks up the tale for this post. So I leave you in his mostly capable narrative hands. The Royal Hotel Paddington was our third Royal of the day, fourth of the weekend. The crowd (mob) […]
We left the strict seating regulations of the Royal Hotel Bondi behind and continued on to the next stop on the tour, the Royal Hotel Randwick. We were joined on this leg of the tour by a couple of guests. The first was Cameron the Resch’s Ravager. The second was second-time guest Jordy. Or at […]
After a night where we had perhaps had one or two too many in Leichhardt, the Sydney leg of the Royal Tour continued. So after a restorative breakfast, we gathered ourselves like the true warriors we are and set course (with our slightly sore heads) for the Royal Hotel Bondi. As I’ve mentioned previously on […]
After three weekends visiting Royals in the regional areas of New South Wales, the Royal Tour finally hit the city with the Royal Hotel Leichhardt. The honour and responsibility of the first city Royal write-up, that goes to John. So without further ado, please enjoy his retelling of our exploits: An American, two Australian guys, […]
With visions of Royal Hotel ownership still dancing in our heads from the Royal Hotel Carcoar, we continued on to our final stop on Light Beer Lane and this weekend of the Royal Tour: the Royal Hotel Blayney. After an epic 11 minute journey, we finally arrived at our destination. I had been through Blayney […]
Yet another very short drive up the road from the brilliant Royal Hotel Mandurama was our 4th and penultimate stop along Light Beer Lane: the Royal Hotel Carcoar. The first thing that hits you about Carcoar is how beautiful of a little town it is. I stopped counting how many times John used the phrase […]
After an arduous 4 minute trek up the road from our previous stop in Lyndhurst, the Royal Tour rolled into the next stop along Light Beer Lane, the Royal Hotel Mandurama. Little did we know that our third Royal on a random Sunday morning travelling up Light Beer Lane would turn out to be one […]
After departing Woodstock, the Royal Tour embarked on the arduous 13 minute drive to the next Royal on Light Beer Lane: the Royal Hotel Lyndhurst. We arrived at the second stop along Light Beer Lane just before noon. The Royal Hotel Lyndhurst is a vine-encrusted old-school bunker of a pub. It’s not the swankiest or […]
This beer blog will now take just a quick intermission from regaling you all with tales from the Royal Tour to actually talk about beer. In this case, a brilliant IPA from a little brewery from Brookvale, that really should be from Bucketty. I’ve been absolutely loving Bucketty’s IPA from Bucketty’s Brewing. Those of you […]
