One man's ongoing love letter to hoppy beverages
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 […]
After our last Royal in Inverell on Friday we stayed the night in the town of Deepwater and hit up the fantastic Deepwater Brewery. And Deepwater Brewery will definitely be getting its own post in the coming weeks. But for now it’s on to our next Royal, the Royal Hotel Casino. The first three Royals […]
Just 20 minutes up the road from Tingha was our next stop for the day, the Royal Hotel Inverell. I must admit, first impressions were not amazing. Big generic Toohey’s New signage was everywhere. It wasn’t a facade that screamed ‘character’. It felt like the kind of pub that was going to be standard and […]
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 […]
As we’ve hit another 10 Royals, it’s time to update our running list of our favourites. These are our 10 favourite Royals of the first 90 we’ve visited. We again have a new addition. And, upon further reflection, we’ve shuffled some of the Royals near the top again. Just a reminder about our criteria: So […]
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 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 […]
