The story behind it
Founded by John Smithwick in 1710 on the site of a 13th-century Franciscan abbey in Kilkenny, Ireland, the brewery overcame centuries of hardship to become Ireland's oldest operating commercial brewer. The family-run business eventually joined forces with Guinness in 1965, securing its place as an international symbol of traditional Irish brewing.
Smithwick's is brewed using a historic recipe that dates back to the St. Francis Abbey brewery in Kilkenny. The secret behind its rich red hue lies in the precise ratio of pale malt, crystal malt, and premium roasted barley.
