O'Malley's Cream Ale Gets a Facelift

After two years of leading the way. O'Malley's Cream Ale is out in its new package. With the help of the folks at Blacktop Creative the original artwork was given a bit more color and a hand-draw new look. The new packaging coincides with the breweries new pasteurization system. The new package is being introduced as far away as St. Paul, MN to give fans of the Irish tradition a little taste of O'Malley's. Be sure to give the new package a try and let us know what you think.

Drop Kick Finally in the Bottle

Deliveries of the new Drop Kick beer will begin the week after the 4th of July. Shipments will be made all over town as well as to Wichita, Topeka, Lawrence, Sedalia, Warrensburg, Nebraska, Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Don't forget this one is for a good cause. $2 per case goes to the Kansas City Soccer Foundation. Truly a beer you can feel good about drinking. Be sure to let us know what you think after trying a six-pack.

WBC on Wheels

It has been called many things in the Weston Brewing parking lot. Whether you call it the dust buster, aardvark or aero when it comes rolling along it means only one thing...
Great Beer.
Be sure to wave hello to Sean if you see him in his new ride. You might even try to pull him over and say hello over a couple fresh beers.

Drop Kick Ale in Bottles

Just to let Drop Kick fans know we weren't just kidding about bottling it some day I decided to post the finished label. It is still a couple months from hitting shelves, but it is coming soon!

Pasteurizer Arrives

On Monday morning a new era at the Weston Brewing Company arrived on a flatbed trailer. At about 8:30am a truck from North Carolina pulled into the WBC parking lot with the 10'x24' piece of new equipment. Sean is seen in the photo getting into position to raise the machine from the trailer.
The next step in the process was to stand and stare in awe while trying to figure out how this was ever going to make it into the brewery. Initial attempts to lift as planned nearly tipped the forklift.
About five gut-wrenching hours later the pasteurizer was lined up and ready to move into it's new home.
The last photo was taken from inside the brewery as we prepared for the final step.
