Sullivan's Brewing Company Irish Gold

Traditionally Brewed With Lightly Roasted Cara Malt And Finished With First Gold Aroma Hops.

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 Irish Gold is brewed as lagers were in the 1800s. This traditional kettle hopped golden ale has both early and late hop additions. Brewed with lightly roasted Cara malts and finished with First Gold Aroma hops, Sullivan's Irish Gold is golden in colour with a clean, citrus finish. The beauty of Sullivan's Irish Gold can be found in its balance and sessionability, alongside the subtle apricot and tangerine notes.
