What type of beer is smithwicks

Both are labeled as 4. PatrickCT likes this. PatrickCT -- thanks for the response, but I have no idea. Anyone know if they are the same. Ceddd99 Initiate May 14, Michigan. I think they are the same beer with a different label.

If you want to be absolutely sure, check if there is contact information on their website. Yeah, I think Guinness recently re-branded all of their beers -- there's a recent thread asking about Harp's new label. AlcahueteJ likes this. I recall years later asking him about TIME beer. He had no recollection of any beer by that name.

It seems to not have made a huge splash in Ireland. It certainly never ingrained itself to the national drinking consciousness in any major way. It was a very popular beer in much of the country but Cork had its own ales like Celebration so this might explain you father not remembering the brand. One of the most popular brands - Phoenix - is heading down the same road of myth and misremembering - it will soon fade from memory too.

Very interesting article Liam. We have a Time Barley wine glass. It's a lovely glass. Would this be rare? Well I've never seen one but that just might mean that they are living in lots of cupboards around the country and not out in the wild.

I'd be interested in seeing one though A very interesting article,I found this blog whilst looking up Watneys Red Barrell, I read somewhere recently that it tasted like a non nitro Smithwicks I remember mention of Time when I toured the old Smithwicks brewery visitor centre in , the brewery was still operating at that stage , making Budweiser on that day iirc. Smithwicks was a favourite of mine but having found McArdles stocked locally it's my new go to Ale. Post a Comment. A short history of a forgotten Irish beer brand Posted by: Scott February 17, in Ales 7 Comments.

Appearance: Color is a beautiful amber-red. Very clear. Head was big and puffy and receded to a fine lacing. Smell: Floral aromas from the hops along with a nice mix of malts and dark fruits. Some graininess in the finish. Initial Taste: A malty sweetness covers the mouth and is beautifully balanced with a hop bitterness. Finish is little bitter and very clean. Very smooth beer. This is some of the best of the big industrial beers.

Sure the recipe has changed since the big Guinness buyout but the beer remains at the top of the Irish red ales.

I recommend.
