Kilkenny the medieval capital of Ireland stands in the light of the majestic Kilkenny castle. In years gone by all castles had their own mills which were served by local peasants, who would turn their crops in to their landlord in lieu of rent. These crops were delivered daily to a young miller called Matt who ran the Mill at it's present site of John's bridge.
Now young Matt was an enterprising young lad, he kept the best of barley one side to develop his own home brew. As the years went by so Matt's brew grew stronger and more popular, and he opened his own tavern in the mill.
Condemned men were lead to the gallows below Greensbridge, and their last stop was Matt's tavern, it was said many of Kilkenny's most infamous thieves and rogues had their last request granted of fresh fish from the adjoining River Nore, a loaf of home-made soda bread and a jug of Matt's ale.
As the story goes twice a year the ghost of Matt is seen in the cellar bar of Matt the Millers, just to be sure the finest of brews are still being served to the condemned rogues and thieves of Kilkenny!
