Smithwick's Experience

Smithwick's Experience is a visitor centre on Parliament Street in the former St Francis Abbey Brewery, where Smithwick's ale was brewed from the 18th century until 2014. Franciscan friars brewed on the site before their abbey was dissolved during the Reformation. A guided tour covers the brewery's history and the brewing process.
