A company known as Kenya Breweries Limited was formally registered on 8 December and production began on 14th December 1922. Charles Hurst was the first brewer. Going by the manual he followed the instructions implicitly, boiled the resultant solution in a small copper vessel over a kuni [wood] fire, bottled the brew and carried ten cases, the first order, to Mr Waterman, the manager of the Stanley Hotel. Those who remember Mr Waterman can imagine the kindliness with which he would have accepted the crates, have extracted the cork from the first bottle of local beer, tasted the brew and raised his eyes to that high roof of the Stanley lounge.

Garden - '........ The 'New Stanley' in Nairobi is really too grand to be called an inn; it is a first-class hotel; beautiful suites with their private bathrooms, cool restful decorations, good service, excellent food and the personal attention of a most understanding manager, Mr Waterman, and his wife. Their daughter at Ruiru has a small squab farm .....…..'

Macmillan - 1930 - The New Stanley …. The whole organisation of the establishment is under the personal supervision of Mr Albert Ernest Waterman, the popular and highly esteemed manager, who has had an exceptionally long and varied experience of catering in all its branches and phases. He was for many years in the catering departments of the Union Castle Line and the South African Railways, and was later manager of the Opera House Restaurant, Cape Town. He became manager of the New Stanley in 1916, and to his capable direction has been largely due its remarkable success since then.
