GASTONIA, N.C. — Keepsake Brewery wants to be your go-to brewery.
It opened on Saturday at 211 Columbia St. in Gastonia, near community staple Tony’s Ice Cream.

“It certainly starts from a very selfish perspective. We make the beers we love the most. I feel like these are also beer styles that appeal to a big group of people,” he says.

He’s partnered on that venture with fiancé Katherine Long.
The duo purchased the 2,000-square-foot Columbia Street space — formerly used as storage — to protect Keepsake from future leasing issues. The entire property is about one-third of an acre.
