10 Best Breweries in Gastonia

"Wooden Robot describes itself as an “urban farmhouse brewery,” a space where old meets new — hence the wonderful brewery name. A lot of breweries tout themselves as a blend of art and science, a traditional brewery making modern beer, but when someone can make a series of quality lagers as well as juicy sours and IPAs, we take notice. Like a couple of the other breweries on this list, you’ll find great food available in the taproom."

"Heist, one of the city’s original breweries, has two locations: the first Heist Brewpub in NoDa and the Heist Brewery & Barrel Arts near Camp North End. Their brunch buffet (usually accompanied by a donut tower) is a hangover must. Heist Brewery & Barrel Arts is a 26,000 brewery and taproom that has a covered beer garden, bakeshop, two event spaces and a separate area for their barrel-aging program."

Eclectic brews made on-site and scratch-made cocktails that pair with items, like thick-cut pork belly BLT, roasted beet hummus with toast points, thick chicken biscuits and gravy, and toasty flatbreads."

"The Suffolk Punch is a coffee bar by morning and a brewery and eatery whenever it’s polite to quit with the coffee already. The South End space is also fantastic, with a large patio and gleaming indoor space that leads to a curated experience from start to finish. If you’re there to eat, their weekend brunch is fantastic."

"Resident Culture joined Charlotte's booming beer scene in 2017 when it opened in a building that’s been in owner Philip McLamb’s family since 1982, when McLamb’s father ran his printing company out of it. Now McLamb and his wife Amanda have converted the space into a taproom with an outdoor patio, beer garden, and a private event space. The beer—hazy IPAs and funky farmhouse brews—is great, but the cartoonish murals on the walls, done by full-time staff member and local illustrator Maryssa Pickett will stick with you."
