Discover the art of brewing and develop a deeper appreciation of Irish ale with the Masters of Ale Experience at Smithwick's in Kilkenny. This 75-minute guided experience goes beyond the traditional brewery tour, introducing you to the ingredients and flavours that make different ales distinctive.
Begin by exploring the evolution of ale and the important role played by the Smithwick's family in Ireland's brewing history. Your guide will take you through a series of sensory experiences designed to help you understand the ingredients used in brewing and how they contribute to the finished beer.
Next, put your senses to work during a guided tasting masterclass featuring four ales. Discover the characteristics of different styles and learn to recognise the flavours that set them apart.
You'll then have the opportunity to learn how to pour the perfect pint of Smithwick's, with a guided tutorial showing you the technique behind a great serve.
To finish your experience, you'll receive an engraved glass memento to take home. It's a lovely reminder of your visit and your newly acquired ale knowledge.
