in Kilkenny,

Ireland 🇮🇪
Associated Venue: Sullivan's Taproom
Established in 2016
The Smithwick Family in partnership with direct descendants of the Sullivan Family had a vision to re-open the once-great brewery in the city where it all began. They enlisted the help of Ian Hamilton, one of Ireland’s most eminent contemporary master-brewers. Together they are bringing artisan brewing back to Kilkenny. If people thought that brewing in Kilkenny was dead and buried, they are in for a rude awakening…
Brewed at Dundalk Bay. Some small batch beers brewed in the taproom.

500ml bottle. Pours a clear red brown with a small, creamy, short lived, beige head that leaves spotty lacing. Sweet aroma of toasted bready malt, toffee, plum and floral hops. Sweet flavour of toasted biscuity malt, caramel, prune, date and spicy hops in a dry, bitter finish. Medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Tasty and enjoyable.

Draught at Grafton Street Pub, 2/7/26.
Bit of toast and caramel with some red berry and a touch of char.
Reasonably malty but drying out with toast and grain. Moderately fruity, clean and reasonably satisfying. Not over toasted or thin. I'll take it.

16 oz nitro draft. Mild coffee, soft roasted malt, yeast. Nice mouth feel from the Nitro and does show a decent amount of body. The typical Guinness clone. Although this may be a hint better than Guinness.
Kilkenny, Ireland! New region!
Ruby ale. Harsh bitterness but smooth malt
