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