One man's ongoing love letter to hoppy beverages
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 […]
This week we’re heading down to a favourite of the blog: Dainton Brewery in Melbourne. This time it’s for their brilliant Amplifier Hazy IPA. Dainton has been featured a fair bit on this blog for their funky beers (see Pickle Dan and B’easter Egg). But Amplifier is a firm reminder that these guys aren’t just […]
This week we return to a favourite brewery of the blog (and #9 in the recent to 20), Dainton Brewery. Dainton primarily make two types of beer: awesome hoppy varieties of IPA’s, and weird, funky out-there concoctions. And the quality of the former, often convinces me to try more of the weird stuff than I […]
