Volunteer Brewing Company

Volunteer Brewing Company is a brewery in Middletown, Delaware. It is a small, family-owned, independent neighborhood brewery that began operations in 2017. The business serves the Middletown community with small batch ales and seltzers, brewed exclusively with grain malted in Southern Delaware and, in some cases, grown within the state.
