We've covered the best known beers from Guinness, Guinness Stout and Harp Lager. The third member of the family is Smithwick's Irish Ale. It is actually a classic Irish Red Ale and is definitely Ireland's favorite ale.
The beer was first brewed by John Smithwick and Richard Cole in 1710 at the medieval Franciscan Abbey in Kilkenny and is still brewed there today. The abbey itself started brewing beer hundreds of years earlier and is Ireland's oldest active brewery.
Smithwick's is deep red color with a hint of roasted coffee in the flavor profile. it weighs in at 4.5% alcohol by volume. It came to the United States about six years ago and quickly became a big seller at Irish pubs.
