From the record
Summary
Revives a Kilkenny brewing name dating to 1702. ⚠ The Ireland compendium lists this as corporate-backed via 'Molson Coors / Heineken wholesale alignments' without specifics; the claim is recorded here but not asserted as ownership.

Tally’s Take
Kilkenny is a brewing town that spent decades with its beer made by somebody else — Smithwick's went to Diageo and the brewery closed. Sullivan's revives a name from 1702 in a city that badly wanted one back.
