Default Smithwick's in the US

[Yeah, you probably thought this was going to be another post where the
guy asks where he can find Smithwick's in the US, 'cause his wife
usually hates beer but she had it in Ireland and, that night, they had
the best sex they ever had.]

I've only had the stuff once, from a can brought back from Ireland, and
it was: "eh". Just a dull, amber ale of the sort that Bass has turned into.

But, looking through a local Jersey shore entertainment magazine, full
of ads for St. Patrick's Day at the local bars and clubs, I came across
a full page ad from Diageo-Guinness, complete with a couple of photos
from their current ad campaigns (the "Brilliant" animated b&w old photos
& the "Guinness as presents"). (Sorry, no shamrocks or leprechauns, tho')

T'IS THE ST. PATRICK'S SEASON
ENJOY IRELAND'S TRINITY OF BEERS THIS ST. PATRICK'S SEASON! BRILLIANT!!

And below are three draft beers in pint glasses w/logos:

Harp, Guinness and..... Smithwick's.

The latter with "Now Available in America!!" written over the glass.
Says, "Imported", but they don't say if it's from across the ocean or
just the St. Lawrence River & Great Lakes.
