* Kilkenny draught Irish beer originates from Ireland's oldest brewery in the 12th Century Franciscan Abbey in Kilkenny, where brewing first began in 1710. A unique smooth ale with a ruby hue, Kilkenny is highly drinkable with a creamy, indulgent mouthfeel. This smooth, creamy character is a result of the nitrogen gas which is expelled upon opening from the new ball-like floating widget contained in the can.
