Sullivan's Brewing Company
Client Brewer
in Kilkenny,
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.

440 ml can. Deep Amber gold color. Firm, creamy beige head is finger high. Sweet malty nose has a hint of toffee. Sweet earthy malt flavor has a note of brewed tea. Perhaps a touch of crusty bread as well. Middle brings sweet citrus and stone fruit. Finishes slightly bitter and dry. Quite tasty.
