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.

Can from Systembolaget. Thought I'd take a beer as today my COVID is allowing me senses. A deep malty aroma. Mahogany colour. Taste is deeply malty, more like a rougher mild. Sweet hints of toffee. Lingering palate. I can see why people would love this and I imagine on a wintery day on cask it's special but a bit intense for me today and lacking Hop.

Oktoberfest in Brighton Beach: pours gold with white head. Lightly floral and malty. Taste is cheap and industrial with a light flowery touch. Not great.

Burk från SB. Mycket mustigt rågbröd i både doft och smak. Matig och fyllig munkänsla. Rund, len och snäll beska. Trevlig
