Talk:Kilkenny (beer)

Untitled
Things to do on this page:


 * add properties of the beer (e.g. alcohol content and other figures), although there may be different brewed varieties
 * add picture of full Kilkenny pint glass
 * add info/history for the brewery itself
 * create more links to this article from Kilkenny (the city)'s webpage
 * add more official sources (Diageo's and Guinness' websites are not very informative)
 * add citation for diageo's non-compete agreements (I took this info from the wiki page on Kilkenny itself).

Some mysteries to clear up:


 * Is Kilkenny really the same beer as Smithwicks? It might be brewed the same way, although perhaps the way it is served (e.g. with nitro) and branded differently might be enough to distinguish it from Smithwicks. Personally, I've had cans of Kilkenny and bottles of Smithwicks, and they are similar, but the creamy head of Kilkenny makes it a much better beer for me.


 * Where is Kilkenny available? The Kilkenny article mentions at least Ireland and Canada, although this |source from 1998 suggests 53 countries (scroll down to find the kilkenny mini-article).   Diageo's website itself says that the top markets are Ireland, Canada and Australia.

Note for future editors: As far as I am aware, the product has not been available in the United Kingdom for many years TrustAM (talk) 23:16, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

=Ingredients= Nitrogen should be listed as a content since it is not produced by the yeast, and it alters the flavor and mouth-feel considerably. Both "barley" and "roasted barley" are listed as contents. I suspect that the roasted/crystal content is low as the flavor is very mild. The color probably comes from dark/melanoidin malts. Guinness draft contains a large amount of lactose for sweetening, and Kilkenny probably contains some, as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.220.105.67 (talk) 06:25, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
