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.

5.00This is my second time doing the tour and it was just as fascinating as the first, lol. It’s truly beautiful to learn the story of the brand and the town. Chris was knowledgeable & extremely personable. We aren’t even staying the night in Kilkenny but stopped by so we didn’t miss this tour while in Ireland. Thank you!!

5.00We went through the tour, was very informative and fun. There are medieval monks talking to us, and pictures of Smithwicks bosses of different eras are talking to each other. And at the end there was a paddle with 3 beers to taste (each 1/2 pint). The way back on foot became very fun.
