One man's ongoing love letter to hoppy beverages
After departing the Guyra with full bellies, we headed about 45 minutes up the road to our next destination: the Royal Hotel Tingha. However, when we arrive at Tingha, disaster. The pub was covered in scaffolding and behind chainlink fencing. It was clearly under renovation. After the shemozzle of a start to the trip we’d […]
Almost exactly 4 months after finishing up our last Royal trip in Nundah, it was time to hit the road once again. The destination this leg was the New England region of New South Wales. And the first stop: the Royal Hotel Guyra. It was far from smooth sailing making it up to Guyra in […]
After departing Euston and it’s questionable age claims in New South Wales we drove 2 1/2 hours through Victoria to arrive back in New South Wales and the Royal Hotel Barham. The drive wasn’t as long as some of the others we’d done, but something about it felt long. There wasn’t much to see other […]
After the three different states we traversed to get to Wentworth, we decided to stay in NSW for a little while and headed down the road to the Royal Hotel Euston. Pulling up to the Royal Hotel Euston, it definitely didn’t look like most of the other Royal’s we’d been to. It certainly wasn’t one […]
After finishing up the Royals of South Australia in Crystal Brook, and after a fantastic night at the Woolshed Brewery in Murtho, we were back into New South Wales for the Royal Hotel Wentworth. Just on a side note, I will write a post about Woolshed Brewery at some point. It certainly deserves it. Three […]
Editor’s Note: After our night out in Newcastle, there was one stop left to go. For the last stop on this leg I once again leave you in the moderately competent hands of John. So if you don’t like it, blame him. If you do, I must be amazing at editing. First and only Royal […]
After departing Kew and its many punnily named businesses, we continued south to Newcastle and our last stop for the day, the Royal (Inn) Hotel Waratah. Firstly I’ll address the bit of an elephant in the room. Yes, the sign on the outside does say the Royal INN Hotel. And yes, I do know the […]
After setting off from South Grafton, several hours later we found ourselves in the small town of Kew, the home of our next stop on the Tour, the aptly named Royal Hotel Kew. Kew is a bit of a small, unassuming town. While Kew doesn’t have a ton of businesses, those that are there lean […]
After departing Taree and spending a night in Coffs Harbour, the Tour rolled on to the northernmost point of this leg: the Royal Hotel South Grafton. While I won’t dwell on it, the night spent in Coffs Harbour was not, on the whole, amazing. We went to the stadium in Coffs and watched what I’m […]
After the one-off Royal in Bungendore it was time again for a proper full leg of the tour. This one took us up to the Mid-North Coast of New South Wales. The first stop: the Royal Hotel Taree. We had a fairly early morning departure to head up the coast so we rolled into Taree […]
