Albury Brewhouse - A Cold One on Dean Street
A craft beer and a proper feed at the Albury Brewhouse on Dean Street - the Day 3 lunch stop on the run down to the Vic State HOG Rally, and a good excuse to catch up with a mate.
EATS & DRINKS
Breweries, pubs, and taco joints worth riding to. If the food is good and the beer is cold, it makes the list.

The Shamrock Hotel, Echuca - Home of 101 Parmas
Lunch at the Shamrock Hotel on the run out to Echuca during the Vic State HOG Rally. A grand old pub in the historic Port precinct with 101 parmas on the menu, a sports bar with the Grand Prix on the big screens, a barrel room full of old charm, and a beer garden out the back.

The Star Hotel, Echuca - Heritage Pub in the Port Precinct
One of the old pubs we walked past in Echuca on Day 4 of the Vic State HOG Rally. The Star Hotel is a heritage two-storey pub on High Street, opposite the historic wharf, running right through to the Murray Esplanade - bar, cafe and a courtyard wine bar.

The Echuca Hotel - A Farewell Drink on the Murray
A farewell drink at The Echuca Hotel before the run back to Shepparton on Day 4 of the Vic State HOG Rally. A cracking old pub on Echuca's High Street with a big rear beer garden extension - the perfect spot to soak up the long-weekend sun.

Hotel Dunedoo - The One Filed Away for Next Time
A beautiful federation country pub on the Golden Highway at Dunedoo. We only stopped for fuel and coffee across the road on Day 2 of the rally run - but the Hotel Dunedoo is the kind of place that makes you want to come back with time for a proper beer.

The Star Hotel, Tumut - Cold Schooners to End the Day
A few cold ones at the Star Hotel in Tumut after a long Day 2 in the saddle on the run to the Vic State HOG Rally. Neon sign out front, cold beer at the bar, and locals who don't mind a group of leather-clad Harley riders in the corner.

Cartel del Taco, Hawthorne - Bring the Bike
One of my favourite taco joints - Cartel del Taco in Hawthorne. Bike parking right out the front, a cool Mexican street-taqueria vibe, killer guacamole with pork chicharron, cold Mexican beers on tap, and a plate of assorted tacos. Worth the ride.
