Smithwick's Irish Red Ale traces its history back to Kilkenny in 1710, making it one of Ireland's oldest and most respected beer brands. A nice change of pace from lagers or stouts, this ruby-red ale is brewed with roasted malts that create genuine flavour complexity while remaining a great session beer. Try serving it cool rather than ice-cold so you can appreciate the full malt character and subtle caramel notes. Pairs beautifully with aged cheddar, stews, or a classic shepherd's pie.
