One man's ongoing love letter to hoppy beverages
After departing “Marv” and Moonta we headed on to South Australian Royal #4: the Royal Hotel Crystal Brook. Crystal Brook is a fairly small town and as we pulled in we could see the Royal rising up behind some of the lower buildings. Anticipation started to grow that we might be in store for another […]
The second day of our trip through South Australia commenced with a drive from Adelaide out to the Yorke Peninsula and the Royal Hotel Moonta. Fun fact: Moonta is sometimes known as “Little Cornwall” due to its historical copper mining and large numbers of Cornish immigrants. It was rainy, dreary day when we pulled into […]
After a good feed and a couple of beers to kick off the South Australian leg of the Tour in Balaklava, we headed back to Adelaide and the Royal Hotel Torrensville. It turns out there’s only one single pub called the Royal Hotel in all of Adelaide! And just a reminder we’re not counting pubs […]
After an extended break, we’re back! It’s been a little while between trips. But the important thing is the Tour is back now. And we’re back with a brand new Royal in a brand new state: the Royal Hotel Balaklava in South Australia. This particular leg had four participants. As per usual there was John and myself […]
After last week’s visit to blog-favourite Dainton Brewery, this week we visit another favourite: Adelaide’s Big Shed Brewing Concern. This time it’s for their limited release Violet No-Regard Blue Beer. This is a weird one for me. It came recommended (thank you Tamara), but I really didn’t have a whole lot to go on other […]

But now and […]
This week’s brewery is once again from my recent travels to South Australia (back when that was still allowed). It’s from Adelaide and is Little Bang Brewing. I had been aware of Little Bang Brewing for some time and had even written a post about their excellent Sludgebeast a little while back. But I hadn’t […]
South Australia’s McLaren Vale and the Fleurieu Peninsula produce some of the best wine in Australia. But if you’ve had your fill of wine and instead perhaps fancy some excellent craft beer to be enjoyed in the company of large fluffy dogs, then you’re in luck. In the sleepy town of Myponga, just past McLaren […]
