St Francis Abbey Brewery

St Francis Abbey is a magnificent Irish abbey founded in 1231. Although abandoned during the reign of Elizabeth I, the abbey is now in ruins. As early as the 18th century, the abbey was used as a brewery: today, Smithwick's still brews its beers close to the building! <a href="https://www.go-to-ireland.com/what-to-see/st-francis-abbey-brewery/">[...]</a>
