About
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.

More or less black colour with a mediumsized creamy/fine foamy head. Aroma is toasted, some mild nutty, a bit roasted and chocolaty tones. Flavour is quite similar to that. Lovely smooth.

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.
