Weston Missouri is not much of a town today, but in the mid 19th century it was a key staging ground for westward expansion. Established in 1837 it was a river port and a point of departure for those heading out into Kansas and beyond. And of course it had a brewery.
In fact the Weston Brewery was very early, being established in 1842. You can read more of the history HERE.
The caves established way back then were built well, and today are home for O'Malley's pub.
Here's a nice local news spot that shows the layout and gives a flavor of the place. Good music and good beer down in the old brewery caves. It does not get much better than that. Worth a side trip if I find my way down in those parts.
