Ireland’s most popular ale

At Smithwick’s Experience Kilkenny, we know how to tell a great story. We don’t want to jump the pint and tell our whole story before you visit, but we’ll give you a few sips.

 Smithwicks Red Ale

Smithwick’s Red Ale

The distinctive Ruby Red colour makes it unmistakably Smithwick’s. With a refreshingly balanced taste, this is a blend of mild hops, sweet malt, and roasted barley. The gentle bitterness of the hops is perfectly complemented by the sweet, malty notes.

Pale Ale

Smithwick’s Pale Ale

Deeply golden in colour, our award winning Smithwick’s Pale Ale is inspired by old recipes from our Brewery. Full of flavour, with a long finish, this golden malt beer is fruity, and grassy. It’s brewed with aromatic Amarillo hops for a fuller, fruitier flavour.
