Smithwick & Sons, St Francis Abbey Brewery, Kilkenny

[KarenLynch]

Just came across this bottle at a local thrift store and would like to know more about it. As much as I can tell, it's a blob top, smooth pontil with embossed "R," aqua green color. Says "Smithwick & Sons Ltd, St Francis Abbey Brewery, Kilkenny. Thanks for any help, I appreciate it!

I typically associate that shape with ginger ale. Not sure how often it was used for other beverages.
