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
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
. 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
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).
