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.

A black beer, a head is cramy, medium and beige. Just as beautiful as can be expected. Aroma has roastiness, light liquorice and saltyness. Taste has strong roastiness, some coffee. Medium bodied, fluffy and very smooth. Nitro is raising this to another level.

On tap at Haka, pours a clear dark amber red with a small beige head. Aroma has soft dry bready malt and a pronounced English malt character. Flavour is dry, with plenty of bready malt and some earthiness. Bready, earthy, lightly sweet malty finish. Okay.

500ml bottle @ Belgian Beer Geeks Autumn Gathering 2025. Pours a clear ruby amber, off-white head. Good quencher.. nice and light.. light caramelised tint, bready malt with distant dried fruit suggestions. Should really be drunk by the pint to fully appreciate but a nice break from the stouts.
