Smithwick's Red Ale has an impressive history that began in 1710 when John Smithwick entered the brewing business. Despite the challenges he faced as a Catholic in a predominantly Protestant society, he created an exceptional Irish ale that continues to delight to this day. Smithwick's Red Ale is a reddish-brown beer with a fruity, malt-forward body. It is served with carbonation, giving it a particularly lively freshness. This ale combines over 300 years of tradition with a young, vibrant taste experience.
