Description
Sullivan’s Brewing Company opened for business over three hundred years ago in The Maltings on James’s Street, smack bang in the middle of Kilkenny City. After Sullivan’s Brewery closed for the final time in the early 1900s the tales of the good deeds of this Sullivan Family began to fade into memory.

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.

Ikke helt edruelige notater fra en hyggelig kveld på Våland, med Johan og Egil. etter en snublende start (Nøison Steam Beer) er vi i gang med en ny 0,44 boks, også denne fra VP Herbarium: brunsvart med fløyelsmykt cremeskum som følger oss hele veien. Deilig aroma av mørkrøstede malter, nybrent kaffe, mørke chokolader og et hint av røykmalt. Litt lactose? Mild bitterhet, halvtørr og creamy. Eminent balansert, slank og lettdrikkelig, så her er der bare smilefjes rundt bordet.
