Smithwick's Experience Kilkenny
In Dublin, it’s all about Guinness. In Cork, make it a Murphy’s. And Kilkenny? Well, Smithwick’s is the way to go.
Brewed in the medieval city since the 18th century, this ale has a rich ruby colour with a pale creamy head, and is served in pubs all over the island of Ireland. But tasting it is one thing, experiencing it is another, and the best way to uncover the history, personalities and place behind the beer is with a visit to Smithwick’s Experience Kilkenny.
Located right on the Medieval Mile – a trail that runs through the heart of Kilkenny and links 13th century St Canice’s Cathedral with Kilkenny Castle – this fun, multi-sensory visitor experience brings the story of Smithwick's to life. Guided tours include everything from the Smithwick family history to ale tasting and a tutorial on how to pour the perfect pint. Its the perfect place to kick off your visit to Kilkenny.
