Folklore Brewing & Meadery

Cool place! Not too hard to find but definitely off the beaten path. Small brewery in the woods/​on a farm on the outskirts of Dothan. Very friendly, chill staff who operate a no-​nonsense tasting room for their delicious beer. Taste is on par with any craft brewery from the PNW. Prices are reasonable, plenty of seating, and swag for sale. They have a «pay what you want» food station that rotates out simple bites like grilled cheese. Great for a large group with an outdoor patio.

Folklore has real potential. With an incredible selection of craft brews, this could be a real addition to the Dothan social scene. The atmosphere could use some improvement, but I understand it is new and still in the early stages of development. I would recommend more fans (especially during the summer). The bar games and band were fun and we had an overall enjoyable experience at Folklore! I would love to see it grow and develop into an awesome asset for the area.

Well it’s the only brewery in the area and the pics of their Amber ale got me excited so we drove out to this place.
It was a little farther than anticipated, but the desire for the Amber ale was more so we pushed on. We continued to follow the GPS despite what looked like a residential area, but as we rounded the corner we saw the christmas lights hung up lighting the way and figured that has to be it.
As we drive up we note its a dirt parking lot lighted with Christmas lights. Also note there is a mini– bonfire going on. Some people are are sitting outside having a good time. It was a little intimidating at first because it appeared we were going into a barn, but the taste of the Amber ale kept driving us and we enter.
We enter and am totally amazed!!! It has large tables for large groups. It’s a pretty big area. Has bathrooms. And then of course the bar with their liquid magic!
They had some food, I didn’t get any, but it was hot dogs with a lot of fixings and from I remember them telling me it was based on donation only; no set price. He said he put in $ 3 and was really happy with his food.
Anyways to the beer… they had 10 beers on tap and 2x Rattlers (beer mixed other stuff. I can’t remember what’s the one was but the other was beer and lemonade… pretty good. a little sweet). Anyways I got their flight of all and went to town. They had a mixture of ales, porters, IPA, and pale ales. A little for everyone. Of the 10… I don’t like 4 of them. Just because they were IPA… I am not much of a IPA guy. It was still good. Their Amber ale was delicious. They also had a cherry wheat was a great balance.
All in all… a great place to have some beer, hang out with friends, and relax!
Go to this place!!!

Folklore Brewing really is the BEST KEPT secret of Dothan, AL. A little tricky to find, but totally worth the effort. Cozy atmosphere, great mix of people, and most importantly, great tasting beer! Another plus: sometimes they tell ghost stories while you enjoy your brew. Awesome spot!

Wow. What a refreshing surprise. I am from Portland, Oregon so micro brewery’s are as common as Starbucks but coming here to Dothan has left me looking for some great beer. I walked in and was immediately greeted by the brewmaster. I had a number of samples before settling on a delicious IPA. What a great place and I had a fantastic time. I will definitely be coming back.
