    Craft beer pubs are entirely allowed to sell Smithwicks - they just don't. Its perfectly normal pubs that have taken the Heineken deal, and a growing number of them.

    Smithwicks today is not even the same product as 30 years ago let alone 300.

    140 years ago, the Smithwicks brewery promoted their stouts (3 types) above their ales


    Smithwicks does seem to be a bit different to the way it used to be alright. Thought it might be just me harder on the stomach.


    Anyone remember Smithwicks barley wine?
