Diageo .Kilkenny is very similar to Smithwick's Draught; however, it has a nitrogenated cream head similar to
Guinness . The 'Kilkenny' name was originally used during the 1980s and 1990s to market a stronger version of Smithwick's for the European and Canadian market due to difficulty in pronunciation of the word 'Smithwick's'. It now refers to a similar yet distinct beer.Kilkenny was originally produced for export and is available in at least the following countries: Ireland, Finland, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium, Croatia, Ukraine, Russia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Thailand, Slovenia, Sweden, Denmark, Malaysia, Japan, Poland, Belarus, Bosnia, Israel, India, Italy, South Africa, Austria, Estonia, Hungary, Singapore and Brazil.
