I understand this is as far from a craft production as is possible, but I think this could do good things to promote choice. There are thousands of intransigents who will see this, and automatically try it with a more open mind as it has the Smithwicks brand and it might just open their mind to try other Irish Pale Ales. If it does well, it might make it easier for other Irish Pale Ale producers to get their product into Irish pubs.)[/quote:2es6byms]

Smithwick's is 3.8% ABV in Ireland. 4.3% seems to be the lowest acceptable ABV for the average Irish beer drinker, illustrated by the difference in Irish and UK Becks Vier.

It will make a change from Guinness/Smithwicks. Obviously I'm not buying the "craft" marketing rubbish but it's better than nothing.

Is there much interest? Would you consider putting on a tap from [insert local brewery here]?"
