Kansas City Office 1012-14 Grand Ave. Deep down beneath the surface of the old, picturesque and beautiful little city of Weston are the cellars of the Weston Royal Brewery. The great arches of heavy masonry and massive stone walls remind one of ancient times when the old master's one ambition was to brew a healthful beer. Studious Monks and wise Friars were wont to whet their wits and discuss great questions while "enjoying the bowls and bumpers" in cellers like those of the Weston Royal Brewery. Cleanliness is next to Godliness," is the brewery motto, and is adhered to with religious fidelity. From the choicest hops and well matured malt from which "Royal Brew" is made, to the bottling works, which is equipped with the most modern and sanitary machinery.
