Smithwick’s Beer Experience for Two:

The Experience

Visit one of Kilkenny’s top attractions and discover the story behind Ireland’s oldest ale.

The Smithwick’s Beer Experience for Two takes you on an engaging journey through over 300 years of brewing history. Set within the historic grounds of St. Francis Abbey, this guided tour begins with the story of the Franciscan monks who first brewed here in the 13th century. Learn how the Smithwick family carried that legacy forward, blending tradition and innovation to create an ale loved across Ireland.

Explore the brewing floor and experience the process up close. Smell the fresh hops and roasted malt while learning how four key ingredients - water, barley, hops and yeast - combine to form Smithwick’s distinct character. Discover the care and precision that go into every pint poured.

The tour concludes in the relaxed tasting bar, where you can each enjoy a complimentary pint of Smithwick’s or a soft drink. With its mix of history and authentic Irish charm, this one-hour experience is perfect for friends or anyone curious about the art of brewing.
