The first time I had "Smidicks" was at the great Corib Pub after a local committee weekend, when a buddy said, "you have to try this stuff, it's great". I went home and told my wife about it and later that week we looked in the local "packie"(yes, gentlemen, I am married to a woman who like beer), but coudn't find anything named "Smidicks".
We had to go back to the Corib and pay attention this time.
Love Smithwicks. When I was in Kilkenny, Ireland I drank quite a few. That's the town where it is brewed and it tastes alot better than the stuff we get in the USA that has to jump across the pond.
