Smithwick's - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Smithwick's (pronounced 'smith-icks') is an Irish red ale style beer from Kilkenny in Ireland. Smithwick’s was originally brewed in St. Francis Abbey Brewery in Kilkenny, known as 'Smithwicks Brewery' until c.2000. The brewery is situated on the site of a Franciscan abbey where monks had brewed ale since the 14th century, and has ruins of the original abbey on its grounds. It is Ireland’s oldest operating brewery, founded by John Smithwick in 1710 on land owned by the Duke of Ormonde. It is the major ale producer in Ireland. It was purchased from Irish Ale Breweries in 1965 by Guinness and is now, along with Guinness, part of Diageo. Smithwick’s is now brewed in Dundalk as well as in Kilkenny. Smithwick's is the third most popular beer in Ireland after Guinness and Magners (Bulmers in Ireland, Magners outside of Ireland because of copyright laws) and continues to be Ireland's largest selling brand that isn't a stout or cider.

p.s. its delicious.
