#11 Smithwick’s
Smithwick’s
Ireland
The Irish brewwww. Smithwick’s is from the makers of my favorite beer of all time Guiness. Knowing this fact, I was already expecting to like it…and like it I did. Let’s get this straight, this beer won’t make you a man, it’s not a beer to brag about, nor will it get you drunk (unless you’re a super lightweight). This beer is like your typical factory job; you don’t brag about it, you just do it…you don’t talk about this beer, you just drink it. It’s light, smooth, nothing wows you about this beer but with every sip you can feel the working man spirit in every fizzy bubble.
I likened this beer to the quick grab after work or something to down while fixing a car (alcohol and battery acid go great together). Everything from the color, the packaging, to the taste is blue collar about this brew. Sort of like a good friend you have who isn’t emotional, fancy, sophisticated, has comment sense and manners. So very Irish. I personally enjoyed the beer. It asks nothing more from you then to be you and that is great because I am too lazy to even be me sometimes. I don’t who Smithwick is but he seems like a cool dude to not talk to or share deeply repressed emotions with.
Let’s go to our guests:
S: Good, bland, ale. Good for those who like piss water (continuing the pisswater theme)
P: Smooth. Would definitely try again. Good weekend beer.
Pair it with: Burger, Restoring vintage muscle cars, Irish silence.
Score: 7 out of 10 sexy.
