Smithwick's Experience
Make your own way to Smithwick’s Experience Kilkenny, roughly 1.5 hours from Dublin by car, at a time suited to you. Located in an old Victorian brewing building in Kilkenny City, the Smithwick’s Experience offers a fully interactive, multi-sensory journey through Smithwick’s history. On arrival, join one of the guided tours — which run regularly throughout the day and last approximately an hour — and trace the evolution of Ireland’s oldest beer brand, from its medieval origins right up to present day. Holograms, Franciscan monks and living portraits of John Smithwick and his family guide you through the tour. Discover how the Smithwick’s story dates back to the 1200s, when monks settled at St Francis Abbey, which functioned as a brewery for more than 300 years. Then, hear about the arrival of the Smithwick family in the 18th century. You’ll also learn more about the brewing process itself and have the chance to experience the texture, tastes and smells of the materials that go into creating the perfect pint of Smithwick’s ale. Finish your tour with a carefully poured pint (or a soft drink) at the bar before heading to the gift shop, where you’ll have the opportunity to purchase souvenirs.

5.00Visiting Ireland for the first time and made Smithwick’s my must see Brewery. Similar to my home history in Wisconsin (USA) the legends of brewing have faded away from their original Brewing sites, but the history remains rich. Thank you to our guide Barry for sharing the stories, humor and delivering a great Smithwick’s Experience.
A great brewery tour

5.00A really good tour, the videos are excellent and the tour guide was great. Not just reading a script but a few light hearted comments which made it all the more fun. Lots of good history which comes to life on this tour
Red Stout is the best.

5.00Very well orchestrated tour & tasting. They explained the brewing process very well and I left feeling like I understood the history of brewing in Ireland as well as the logistics of the process itself. The combination of prerecorded content and the live tour guide was entertaining and informative. It was a relaxed atmosphere. It is great for friends and families. Not sure kids under 12 would find it interesting. The beer garden out back had live Irish music. Next time I come to Kilkenny, I’ll definitely do this again.
