Kilkenny, the Red Beer of Ireland, has a history that is as distinctive as its taste. Originating from Kilkenny in Ireland, the city has a long, illustrious tradition of brewing great beer. Kilkenny is also brewed in the oldest operating brewery in Ireland, the St. Francis Abbey which started brewing almost 300 years ago. Known for its distinctive features and strong Irish quality credentials, Kilkenny is coloured a unique ruby red colour and features a clean, smooth, and full-flavoured taste. It is this unique, satisfying taste has earned it five gold medals in the famous Monde Selection beer tasting competition.
Almost 300 years later, Kilkenny has become one of Ireland’s most internationally successful beers. Both the raw ingredients and final brew are meticulously examined, ensuring quality that is second to none. Kilkenny is now available across the world in more than 30 countries, with Indonesia becoming one of the most recent additions.
Kilkenny arrived in Indonesia in 2011 directly from its Irish homeland and gives consumers a new distinct offering for those who want a new unique drinking experience. Kilkenny sets itself apart from other beers by having a velvety smooth head and a rich ruby red colour and is currently the only such beer in the Indonesian market. The brand has continued to grow in popularity since its arrival to Indonesia and is now available in bars, restaurants and hotels across the four cities of Jakarta, Bandung, Surabaya and Bali.
