Weston Brewing Co

About Weston Brewing Company
Weston Brewing Company has been crafting beer on the same historic site since 1842. It sits deep in the river town of Weston, Missouri, where the limestone hills hide five original underground cellars still used today. Founded by German immigrant John Georgian, it’s one of the oldest lager breweries in the country and carries a proud local legacy that includes ties to Kansas City’s first Royals baseball team.
