Kilkenny's Penny Red

This beer ingredient kit is a classic Irish Red brewed by fellow FOAMer Jeff Swearengin.

The style of Irish Red is often attributed to the famous Smithwick's Ale brewed at the St. Francis Abbey Brewery in Kilkenny, Ireland hence the reference in name. However, Jeff's original recipe was actually inspired by The Biddy Early's Red Biddy brewed in Inagh, County Clare, Ireland.

Kilkenny's Penny Red makes a great session beer to offer St. Patrick's Day revelers who might prefer something lighter than the usual stout offerings.

ERIN GO BRAUGH!

*Alternate Versions: The use of sweet gale is entirely optional in place of the finishing hops for a more historical representation or a clean attenuative lager yeast can be substituted for a more modern version.
