One man's ongoing love letter to hoppy beverages
After bidding farewell to the awesome outdoor deck and buffalo in the Akubra, we departed Snake Valley for our next Royal on the Tour: the Royal Hotel St Arnaud. Unfortunately, the next Royal was not the one we had hoped. Nor the one after that for that matter. From time to time on the Tour […]
All too soon it was time to depart Meredith and get back on the road. So not for the first time on the Tour, we grudgingly left a Royal where we could’ve easily settled in for a solid session. The silver lining was that we were, as per usual, heading for yet another Royal. Even […]
Editor’s Note: After our brief (very) mini-celebrity status at Bacchus Marsh, The Tour headed on to our next destination: the Royal Hotel Meredith. For this week John once again takes the reigns. Any criticism should definitely be levelled at him. If you have any praise, I’m not really fussed what you do with that. Meredith. […]
After our night of a couple of breweries and a Royal in Daylesford, it was time to continue on the tour. So we prepared ourselves to get back on the road and head on the Royal Hotel Bacchus Marsh. First up in the morning I took an entirely uneventful walk back into Daylesford from Hepburn […]
Editor’s Note: Two days after we visited the Royal Hotel Daylesford, a tragic car accident took the lives of five people in the pub’s front beer garden. Several others were injured in the incident. We were very conscious that this post not have the tone of being about us having a ‘near miss’, even slightly […]
After departing the old school Royal Hotel Seymour, we headed about an hour down the road to the next stop on the Tour, the Royal Hotel Sunbury. The Royal Hotel Sunbury was a fair bit of a departure from the couple of Victorian Royals we had hit thus far. While the building it occupied definitely […]
After finishing our schooners at the Royal Hotel Benalla we grabbed lunch at the highly recommended local bakery and were back on the road. After a quick petrol stop in Violet Town (home of Killing Heidi for all of you Australian rock aficionados) we were on our way to the next stop on the Royal […]
And we’re back. After a holiday break, the blog returns with the start of the first interstate trip of the Royal Tour. For this leg, John and I were joined by our good mate Anthony. Anthony was present on the first night that the Royal Tour was conceived of, but had up to this point […]
Just taking a quick aside from the Royal Tour for a brief dalliance with the actual original mission of this blog: calling out awesome beers and breweries! Rest assured the next Royal Hotel write up will still be arriving next week as scheduled. But I just wanted to take a moment to share a beer […]
This week the blog takes a return trip to Melbourne. We go to a brewery that has thus far been criminally overlooked by the blog: 3 Ravens Brewery. The good people at 3 Ravens make a number of excellent beers and have a cool name based on Norse mythology. Further, 3 Ravens, is apparently the […]
