Farsons Classic Brews


Company History:

Born in a Hamrun brewery that started brewing quality beers in 1928, Farsons Classic Brews is a collection of specialty beers.

Officially launched in the summer of 2016, the Farsons Classic Brews are testament to the passion and creativity of the brewers at Farsons Brewery - an independent family brewery with decades of experience and dedication.

The Farsons story dates back to the late 1920s when entrepreneur and architect Lewis V. Farrugia opened the first ever local brewery in Hamrun under the company name L. Farrugia & Sons. This eventually become the Farsons we know today. Just months later, precisely on 19 April 1928, the first locally brewed beer was launched - Farsons Pale Ale.

A year later L. Farrugia & Sons merged with H & G Simonds, renowned brewers from Reading in the UK. H & G Simonds had been shipping regular supplies of beer to the Maltese Islands since 1880, to satisfy the strong demand of the British garrison stationed in Malta at the time. The new company was called Simonds Farsons Limited.

Marquis Giuseppe Scicluna established Malta’s first privately-owned bank in 1840, and became known as Ic-Cisk – ‘The Cisk’, after a mispronunciation of the word ‘cheques’ by semi-literate bank clients. In 1928, Scicluna’s Bank, under the direction of the son of the Marquis - John, took over the operations of one of the bank’s clients, the Malta Export Brewery and a year later, Cisk, the first pilsner type lager in Malta, was born.

Simonds Farsons merged with the Malta Export Brewery in 1948 and became Simonds Farsons Cisk Limited.

Over the years, the heritage and authenticity of the Farsons Brewery solidified its place in Maltese history to become intrinsically linked with its economic and cultural landscape.


Product Information:

Farsons Classic Brews are brewed with pride and passion by our brewers, who select the right ingredients to create a range of beers that appeal to beer lovers and connoisseurs alike. High-quality malt and traditional English hops are the key ingredients of the brews, giving them a pleasant bitterness balanced out by malty sweetness.

The first Farsons Classic Brew launched on the market way back in 1928 was Farsons Blue Label. Its recipe has now been improved to ensure a smooth and mild taste, with subtle notes of chocolate and caramel.

Two newer additions to the Farsons Classic Brews range are the Farsons Double Red and the Farsons India Pale Ale. Despite being more recent than the Blue Label, these two brews still harp back to the origins of Farsons and reflect the same well-respected and renowned quality of 1928.
