Smithwick's Ireland's Oldest Ale logo
Smithwick's is an Irish red ale style beer from Kilkenny, Ireland.  THE Irish red ale took its roots in the town of Kilkenny, Ireland over 300 years ago, and now owns the titles “Ireland’s longest established brewer” and the “oldest working brewery in Ireland.”



Although the pronunciation of this beer’s name looks straight forward, the “w” and the “h” are silent. The result is “smitt-icks” or “smiddicks”.
