You most likely were served Smithwicks. In France they sell Smithwicks as Kilkenny, because it's easier for the locals to pronouce Kilkenny. I'm guessing it's the same all over Europe.

[quote="saabsaab;114186276"]Article about not drinking Guinness in Cork. Love if anyone had any stats on it.
https://adfx.ie/upload/files/1409818...study_2014.pdf In 2012 - Murphy’s 23.3%, Beamish 32.4, Guinness 44.3%. From what I can see Guinness and Beamish still top 2, Murphy’s probably declined with a few of the craft stouts I suspect picking up a share. Cotton Ball is a lovely pint. |

When I'm here, I like a Guinness lovely pint - unless I'm flying.
In UK, I like Doom Bar, wouldn't touch the Guinness over there. Otherwise I'll drink the cheapest fizzy, chemical muck they have - Galahad from Aldi €8.79 for 12 cans. |

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? |
