    You'll have to go up north, I'd say. Or try something else.

    Think I saw it in Redmonds in Ranelagh about 2 years ago. If you give them a call they might still have some.

    Kilkenny Cream Ale is a good substitute. Can't beat John Smiths though.

    I was quite partial to indulging a few pints of John Smiths daily when living in the UK.

    It's one of the cheaper ales but I really like the taste.

    It wasn't until someone pointed out to me that it's like Kilkenny or Smithwicks that I realised this.

    So yeah, Kilkenny is a fantastic substitute for John Smiths, although it is probably more carbonated.
