One man's ongoing love letter to hoppy beverages
The last stop on the initial weekend of the Royal Tour was the Royal Hotel Queanbeyan. For those that may be unaware, Queanbeyan is just on the NSW side of the border from Canberra and the ACT. It’s not the hugest tourist draw, but a fairly pleasant place to stop in. John and I stopped […]
This week we take a short break from the Royal Tour (it’ll be back next week). But it’s now time for the first new brewery visit this blog has seen for far too long! On a chilly winter’s night, on the southwest slopes of the Snowy Mountains, I had the good fortune to enjoy a […]
The Royal Tour rolls on (a total of 20km down the road from the first stop in Adelong) to the Royal Hotel Tumut. Tumut has a surprisingly large number of pubs for a town if its size (we counted 5, not including the brewery). But the Royal Tumut appears to be the place to be […]

This week we mark the first ever guest post on Corylovesbeer.com. Friend of the blog (and author) Weeksy is off on a 6-month sojourn to Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory. He is putting his time out there to good use by drinking and writing about fancy beer (unsurprisingly shipped in). Without further ado, all […]
