One man's ongoing love letter to hoppy beverages
After opening with three trips out to country New South Wales, it finally time for the Royal Tour to come to the big smoke. We’ll be hitting the Sydney Royals on January 27th, 28th, and 29th. If you are keen to join us as our journey passes through the city, get in contact with either […]
After an eventful night in Orange, the Royal Tour rolled on to the next stop on the Central West leg and the first stop on the Tour’s fabled Light Beer Lane: the Royal Hotel Woodstock. Please also note that I have now taken the reigns back from John for the next couple of posts. I […]
First off, apologies as this post has been slightly delayed by the festive season. But we will endeavour to get back on schedule and keep up a steady flow of Royal Hotel and beer/brewery posts flowing in 2023. So without further ado, welcome to the second edition of the Royal Rantings of John guest posts. […]
Editor’s Note: the posts for the next leg of the Royal Tour, starting with the Royal Hotel Manildra will be written my John Weekes. The opinions expressed are his own and not (necessarily reflective) of those held by the editor. Please direct all disapproval to him personally. I will however, still accept all credit for […]
The next Royal was the last for this leg of the tour. Weekend number 2 of the Royal Tour encompassed over 1,200km, 8 Royals, 3 days, and 1 thumping Sharks victory over the Tigers. The final stop on the second official weekend of the tour also happened to be the closest to home: the Royal […]
The next (and second last) Royal on this particular leg of the Royal Tour was the Royal Hotel Wyong. This was our first and only stop on the Central Coast for the tour as there’s a surprising lack of Royals in the Sydney to Newcastle stretch. We stopped in at 11:00 am on a Monday […]
Good morning all. This is just a short post to let you know John and I are embarking on the next leg of our Royal Tour on the weekend of November 26/27th. Given some favourable geography, we should be able to add a full 11 Royals to our tally. This trip will include a 50km […]
The next stop on the Royal Tour was our destination for the evening: the Royal Hotel Singleton. The Royal Hotel Singleton is very much a standard type of Royal Hotel. And I don’t mean that in a negative way at all. We’re on a mission to hit almost 140 Royal Hotels on this quest and […]
From Spring Ridge, we ventured an hour down the road to a marginally larger town and our next stop on the Royal Tour: the Royal Hotel Murrurundi. Pulling up, our first thought was that this may be the shmickest looking royal we’ve hit so far. Apparently it used to be a Cobb & Co Coach […]
The next stop on the Royal Tour was in our smallest town to date with an official population of under 400: the Royal Hotel Spring Ridge. We had a bit of an adventure navigating some flooded backroads between Manilla and Spring Ridge. But after retreating to the main highways and taking a chance on the […]
