Smithwick's
Smithwick's () is an Irish red ale-style beer. Smithwick's brewery was founded in Kilkenny in 1710 by John Smithwick and run by the Smithwick family of Kilkenny until 1965 when it was acquired by Guinness, now part of Diageo.

Caffrey's Irish Ale
Caffrey's Irish Ale is an ale launched in 1994 by Bass Brewery and currently owned by Molson Coors. History The Caffrey brewing family first brewed beer in Dublin in the late 18th century, about thirty years after the Guinness Brewery was founded. They too sited their brewery on the River Liffey, a few hundred yards east of the Guinness site. Caffrey's Irish Ale was re-launched in 1994 and marketed as a beer which combined features from other types of beer: it could be served as cold as lager, its texture would be as smooth as stout, while its taste was that of an ale. Though launched with little advertising, it was priced at the top end of the market and was made available in over 7500 pubs. Sales of Caffrey's for the first year were higher than expected for a new product, at around 150 000 barrels in its first year. It was designed to appeal to "the ageing lager drinker...looking for a mature pint." Coors Brewing Company acquired the US distribution rights to Caffrey's in Dece ...
