Delicious Craft Beer In A Friendly Atmosphere!

Our second brewery opened in Tappahannock in July of 2023. We love this town and our faithful patrons! Take a few moments to get to know us better and then come on in for a delicious pint of the best craft beer in Tappahannock!
We are owned by Firefighters and embody the aspirations as seen on the 8 points of the Maltese Cross. We have pride in our jobs and love what we do. These values and characteristics are not just limited to firefighting but carry over to everything we do, including brewing beer! We hope this shows when you drink our beer.

Maltese Brewing Company was founded and started by Bobby Cook and Joseph Smith. These two firefighters have a passion for craft beer. When the two heroes were not saving homeless babies from their burning mansions, they loved getting together to create delicious home brews. After many more brewing sessions, they decided to sell their beer! Eight years ago they opened their first nano-brewery in Fredericksburg and less than a year ago, they opened a second nano-brewery in Tappahannock. Current owners are Brian Bailey, Everett Hinson, Booby Cook, and Bruce Bolieau.
Stephen Matters hales from King George and is one talented Brewer! When he's not brewing beer, he is drinking it for quality control purposes... of course!

We offer 14 to 16 delicious craft beers
An English IPA: On the nose it screams pineappely goodness. On the tongue, the bitterness of the Horizon hops hits you up front, then is mellowed out by the sweet fruitiness of the fresh pineapple. It finishes with the mild and succulent flavor of the Galaxy, Amarillo, and Denali hops that leaves you yearning for more.
. Farmhouse Ale - Saison: This our twist on a Belgian-Style Saison. It holds that classic Belgian sting you search for in most American Saisons, and ends with a beautifully clean, slightly peppery finish. One of our incredible starter brews.
Blonde Ale: Has all of the intangibles you want in a blonde. Mild, light, slightly sweet, and no matter what level of craft drinker you happen to be, you can enjoy this ode to a firefighter's favorite thing (second to saving lives aka being a hero).

Poor Mans lager that takes much less time to make! Smooth and crisp taste that mimics a lager! This is for you light beer drinkers.
Fruit beer: Crisp and clean, this hybrid malt beverage drinks like a semi-dry apple cider. Crisp, clean, citrusy, dry, and apples.
Dad Bod New England IPA: Smooth, Hazy, and delicious. This "full bodied" IPA comes in a snifter only.
Brown Ale - American: With loads of whole vanilla beans and roasted malts, the nose on this brown is as beautiful as the Mona Lisa, with the taste equally as gorgeous. The menage trois of chocolate, victory, and caramel malts combine to create a lovechild that will trap you for eternity.
The normal bitterness of a classic Extra Special Bitter gets knocked down and almost eliminated by our addition of cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg. The overall review of this beer by us and our constituents is this: "Is Christmas in a glass".
A malty toasted oat beer, perfect for this time of year.
Pale Ale - American: An American interpretation of a classic English style Ale. The American pale ale is characterized by floral, fruity, citrus-like piney, resinous, or sulfur-like American-variety hop character, producing medium to medium-high hop bitterness, flavor and aroma. American=style pale ales have medium body and low-to medium maltiness that may include low caramel malt character.
Sour - Berliner Weisse: Dry, tart Berliner Weisse with a champagne feel. Playful, bready, herbal funk hints.
Cream Ale - Delicious and airy, this eminently quaffable light ale has just enough berry and spice to amplify its fruitiness & accentuate its creaminess. You can't have just one!
Light, bubbly and sweet. We have many syrup flavors, which could be added.
American Pale Ale/IPA: A juicy and grapefruit forward cloudy beer. This is an American Pale Ale touching the line, wanting to be an IPA.
We brew our own sodas.
Add a description about A great non-alcoholic root beer which takes you back to the old days, when root beer was thick, sweet, and tasty. The sweetness really shines through, with tastes of vanilla, wintergreen, and molasses.
