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 […]
So as we’ve now hit 100 Royal hotels, I figured we might hold off on hearing about Royal 101 for just a sec. Instead, I know what the people really want: Royal Stats! Now this is a little confusing because I’ve only written about 100 Royals. But we have made it to 103 at time […]
Well we’ve now been to 100 Royal Hotels across Australia. And to celebrate our century, we’ve updated our top 10 list of the Royals we’ve visited (as we do every time we hit another 10). For the first time since we’ve been doing these updates, our favourite 10 Royals has not changed since last time. […]
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 […]
After a great night in Tenterfield, it was time to pull ourselves together and head back to Armidale for our flight home. But first, there was one more Royal to hit on this trip: the Royal Hotel Armidale. So after an excellent breakfast at Bad Manners (highly recommended if you happen to be in Tenterfield […]
After saying goodbye to Tracy and Paul in Casino, we hit the road and headed for our next stop on the Tour, the Royal Hotel Tenterfield. Before getting to Tenterfield, we did make a cheeky stop in at the Lunatic Hotel in the town of Drake. I would highly recommend it to anyone taking the […]
