Meet Our Owners

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.

    Our Craft Brews

    We offer 14 to 16 delicious craft beers

    Pineapple IPA

    6.5% ABV

    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. 

    Barnfire Saison

    7.0% ABV

    . 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.

    Fireman's Blonde

    4.3% ABV

    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).

    More On Tap

    Cream Ale

    5.0% ABV

    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.

    Cider-Not-Cider

    5.4% ABV

    Fruit beer: Crisp and clean, this hybrid malt beverage drinks like a semi-dry apple cider. Crisp, clean, citrusy, dry, and apples.

    Dad Bod IPA

    8.2% ABV

    Dad Bod New England IPA: Smooth, Hazy, and delicious. This "full bodied" IPA comes in a snifter only. 

    Bank It Down Vanilla Brown

    5.5% ABV

     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. 

    English Special Bitter

    4.5% ABV

    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".

    Oatmeal Stout

    6% ABV

    A malty toasted oat beer, perfect for this time of year.

    Rappahannock Pale Ale

    5.2% ABV

    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. 

    Dented Kettle Sour

    5.0% ABV

    Sour - Berliner Weisse: Dry, tart Berliner Weisse with a champagne feel. Playful, bready, herbal funk hints. 

    Strawberry-Vanilla Cream Ale

    4.5% ABV

    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!

    Charge the Line Hard Seltzer

    5.0% ABV

    Light, bubbly and sweet. We have many syrup flavors, which could be added. 

    Whacker

    5.0% ABV

    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. 

    Posty Oreo Stout

    6.2% ABV

    Pastry Stout: A chocolate pastry stout with notes of salted caramel, and malty sweetness.


    Non-Alcoholic Brews

    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.
