Kilkenny (beer)

Kilkenny is a nitrogenated Irish cream ale from Guinness, which originated in Kilkenny, Ireland. The brand is produced and managed by Guinness owner Diageo. Kilkenny is available in draught, bottles and cans. Kilkenny is similar to Smithwick's Draught; however, it has less hop finish, and it has a nitrogenated cream head similar to Guinness. The Kilkenny name was originally used during the 1980s and 1990s to market a stronger version of Smithwick's for the European and Canadian markets due to difficulty in pronunciation of the word Smithwick's. It now refers to a similar yet distinct beer.

Export
Australia and New Zealand Kilkenny is available on tap in a number of Australian and New Zealand bars and pubs, where it is served, as with locally brewed draught Guinness, on a mixture of 70% nitrogen and 30% carbon dioxide through a special tap to render a creamy head. The Kilkenny available in cans in Australia from some bottle stores is brewed in Australia under license by Lion and uses a different formula to the Irish version. It is often labelled Kilkenny Red. The Irish version is sometimes available imported in cans. Canada Kilkenny is also available in Canada, including in Montreal's Irish pubs, and the LCBO also saw an increase in sales after July 2013. Kilkenny grew in popularity after several Canadian personalities, including Mike Myers and Drake, were pictured with a Kilkenny "in hand". ==See also==
