Smithwick’s Bottle

Greetings,

Once upon a time, long, long ago… well maybe not that long ago but long ago nevertheless…

 

There was a time that you could not get Smithwick’s Ale in the United States. This had to do with licensing agreements between Guinness and Bass.

But did I care?

 

No…

 

A good friend of mine brought this little fellow over from the “old sod” in the late 1970’s…

Peter I am forever grateful! From this wee nip I learned there was more to Guinness than stout.Think about it…The evidence:       

 

Cheers! Peter LaFrance( peter.lafrance@beerbasics.com )
