In 300 years of triumph, adversity and above all, brewing, you learn a thing or two about ale. Smithwick's Red Ale is a blend of mild hops, sweet malt and roasted barley. Like the castle at the heart of Smithwick's Kilkenny home, it’s stood the test of time throughout Irish history, and earned its rightful place as Ireland’s most loved ale. Smithwick’s Red Ale is the ruby red session ale with a gentle hop bitterness, sweet malty notes and a refreshingly balanced taste.
