A Classic Ruby Ale With Deep Malt Combining Rich Biscuit And Gentle Caramel Notes.

Sullivan’s Brewing Company was established in 1702 in The Maltings on James’s Street, right in the heart of Kilkenny City. Mr Sullivan worked hard to establish a brewery, the likes of which the city had never seen before, using the best local ingredients and the best brewing methods.  The Brewery has had more than its fair share of ups and downs. 1845 was a dark year for Ireland with the start of the Great Potato Famine - during this time the brewery was transformed for mealtimes and evenings into one of Kilkenny’s largest soup kitchens. 1880 was the year of ‘The Great Sullivan’s Brewery Fire’ and finally, in 1918, the doors shut on Sullivan’s Brewery. Fast forward to 2016, direct descendants of the Sullivan family and The Smithwick Family joined in partnership to reopen the once great brewery, in the city where it all began.  Sullivan's Maltings Irish Ale is a classic ruby Ale with deep malts sitting against rich biscuit and gentle caramel notes. Sullivan’s Brewing Company is the first Irish Brewery to win a World Champion keg trophy at the International Brewing Awards, hosting over 1,200 beers from 50 countries. Sullivan's Maltings Irish Ale is the first win of its kind for an Irish Brewing Company in the 131 year history of the Awards, making it a very special beer indeed!
