A big win on social media for an iconic Kilkenny brand!

A TikTok beer reviewer (@beerwithalan) who has claimed to have tried over 2500 different beers has told his followers to try Sullivan's Black Marble Stout instead of Guinness.

"To me, it's a little richer in flavour and depth, roastier and fuller," he told followers in one of his recent videos.

This particular video (below) has amassed almost 70,000 views so far on TikTok.

Black Marble Stout is brewed by the local Sullivan's Brewing Company, who were originally established in 1702 at The Maltings on James Street, Kilkenny.

The brewery survived a fire in 1880 and was lost on a horse bet in 1918 before being revived by members of the Sullivan & Smithwick families.

Now its back stronger than ever, producing award winning beer that's winning admirers from near and far.
