Have you tried Ireland’s most popular ale? If not, you are seriously missing out! We are lucky this famous ale is brewed right in the heart of our beautiful historic city so you don’t have to travel far to sample the worlds freshest pint of Smithwicks. Here’s what to expect when you visit Smithwicks Experience Kilkenny:
History
Smithwicks gets its name from the mysterious
What you can do there
If you are a brewing enthusiast or just a fan of a really good Ale, the Smithwick’s experience is the ideal place to learn a little more about how it makes its way from grain to glass. They believe there is no better way to learn than to get your hands dirty and get stuck in, so they offer the unique opportunity to mill the malt, stir the mash and smell the hops. You will learn a little about the history of Kilkenny and a lot about the history of the company and the brewing process and what makes Smithwicks Irelands number one ale. Their guides are very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the process and are willing to answer all of your questions. Since it first opened, the brewery has expanded to include three different types of ales, Red, Blond & Pale. While there you can upgrade your ticket to include a tasting of the three ales and get an explanation about what makes them different. You may even leave with a new favourite!
