One man's ongoing love letter to hoppy beverages
After finishing up at Mt Larcom the day before and a great night out in Agnes Water and 1770, we departed for the last Royal on this leg of the tour: the Royal Hotel Mundubbera. The leg from Agnes Water to Mundubbera was our longest of this leg of the tour clocking in at about […]
After the slightly longer stay at Rosedale, it was getting towards late afternoon by the time we arrived at the last pub for the day, and the northernmost point of the trip: the Royal Hotel Mt Larcom. The Royal seems like a workers pub on the highway, just outside of Gladstone. It was another one […]
After spending a bit of time and a couple of schooners basking in the glow of hitting our 100th Royal Hotel in Tiaro, we eventually had to move on with the Tour. There was no time to rest on our laurels. Those remaining 30 or so Royals weren’t going to visit themselves. And the first […]
After retrieving all Tour members from the beer/murder tunnel in Murgon and a night in Gympie, it was time to move on to the Royal Hotel Tiaro, and with it, the 100 mark on the Royal Tour! It seems a bit ridiculous that John and I have made it this far on what was a […]
Just a short hour’s drive up the road from the Royal Hotel Yarraman is the next stop on the Tour and Royal number 99(!): the Royal Hotel Murgon. Murgon (pronounced closer to mer-gun rather than mer-gone) is a decent sized town with a couple of big old Queenslander style pubs. The Royal Hotel Murgon is […]
And we’re back! After a months long break, it was finally time to hit the road again and get back on the Royal Tour! It seems like forever ago since we had our last Royal beer way back in Armidale. But we hit the road once again, heading back to Queensland and the Royal Hotel […]
Editor’s Note: This post was written by John’s old mate, presumably my future mate, and Tour guest Turner. Despite missing out on Beenleigh earlier in the day, he joined us for the Royal Hotel Nundah. This has been slightly edited for length and to reduce the number of references to us as ‘idiots’. So as […]
After leaving Kalbar for the city and recovering from our night out at the footy, we dragged ourselves out of bed and headed for another morning Royal at the Royal Hotel Beenleigh. Some pubs we get to in the morning hours are a little bit iffy as to whether or not they’ll actually be open […]
After leaving our new biker friends in Harrisville, we headed off on a short drive down the road to our next Royal, the Royal Hotel Kalbar. After enduring the 20km trek from Harrisville we arrived at the Royal Hotel Kalbar. Kalbar is a nice little town, a fair bit bigger than Harrisville. Kalbar’s Royal wasn’t […]
After departing Gatton (relieved in the knowledge that their Keno was once again operational), we headed to the next stop on the Tour, the Royal Hotel Harrisville After the slightly club-y big town Royals at Gatton and Toowoomba, we were looking forward to another small town Royal. When we arrived, the pub looked pretty much […]
