Smithwick's

MMMMMmmmmmmm...

I had the chance last night to remember one of my favorite beers from my Ireland trip in 1998... Apparently Guinness parent Diageo recently purchased the Kilkenny brewery, which also happens to be the brewers of a fine Irish Ale called Smithwick's (pronounced smt ks). With Diageo being a global company, they are starting to bring Smithwick's to the US. It's only time before we start seeing that in the Chicago. I hope it's sooner rather than later.

(I hope this increases the jealous-o-meter for Kenny)

UPDATE: I just found out that the Irish poob in Arlington Heights has Smithwick's! I can almost crawl home from there...
