Stayed here in our RV for a night on our way to North Georgia. What a great place! Grabbed a mead, beer and dinner plus a six pack to go. Staff was very hospitable. We can't wait to stay another night on our way back home! read more

We were in town for a family function and had to stop by one of our favorite breweries. Just go around we had the pleasure of meeting Jacob, the master Brewer. Super friendly as is the entire family and we loved hearing what new ideas were on the horizon. Not only that we had shared an experience we had with taking a growler home years ago, and he immediately took action to try to recover the situation, even though it happened years ago! True customer service and hospitality. We enjoyed bourbon aged stout and the millie Kalikimaka. Both darker beers with good flavor. My husband ended up switching to the copper tail, which was their German alt bier. He really enjoyed that and had several glasses of it. I switched over to a delicious hard seltzer, the Midori sour and it was divine. I'm still kicking myself that I didn't grab some to bring home. If you love honeydew melon this is the perfect beverage for you! We also finally tried their in-house distilled bourbon whiskey. We really enjoyed it. It definitely does not give you that Kentucky hug you normally feel when you drink bourbon. read more

Stayed there overnight in our RV. This place was amazing. Tucked away from everything it seemed, and had everything you'd ever want there. Great food, great service, great beer, and a great atmosphere. Loved every bit of it. Had some beer inside. Went outside and played some board games while having another beer. There was a stage so it seems that they have live music at times? Overall a wonderful visit! read more

We dined here while staying in their Harvest Hist site. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The food was awesome and all of beer/mead we tried was very good as well. Definitely recommend stopping here for some cool drinks and/or delicious food. The Harvest Host is a great option if you're passing through in an RV. read more

Feels a bit like Deliverance as you come down the road to find this place. Smack dab in the middle of tornado catchers (mobile homes/trailers) and not where you would expect a brewery/meadery to be. The ambiance is great. It feels a lot like the food they serve: Cajun. Service is typical of a brewery - counter casual. There is ample outdoor seating as well. Mead is very good. Beer is about average. Boudin balls for the win. Some of the best I have had outside of Lousiana (not surprising, the cook is from Louisiana). When I start "brewsploring", I will definitely put this one on my map. read more

We stayed here in our RV with Harvest Host. The parking is nice and level and if you have 30 amp service for a small fee you can plug in. We had food at the brewery. The sandwich's a shrimp Po Boy was delicious. Hand cut fries. The beer was really good too the Red Ale was our favorite. The place was clean and had a great vibe! read more

horrible experience, awful live music, kids running around screaming, mosquitos, overpriced bad beer and food. NEVER go to this place, its a waste of time and money read more

We found this great brewery on Yelp so we started driving, got a bit worried as we drove through neighborhoods in the dark. We finally roll up on it. We walk in to find a great keg tree and tables and counters to order at. You order drinks from the counter after you sample to see if you like them. We ordered Christmas in Hawaii($6.67) and Nite Nailen($6.67)and six pack cans($10.00). At the other end of the counter you order food. We ordered cheeseburger($7.95) and Bourbon Street Burger($9.40) and hush puppy basket($6.30) We really enjoyed the beer and the hamburgers were also great. So happy they were not smash burgers. The hush puppies were pretty good, they had a little heat which we liked. We took our chips with us. This is a fun brewery tucked away where you will not just stumble upon it but so glad we found it. It has a cabinet of games a porch to dine outside. We will be by again when passing through. read more

It was a nice complete experience at the end of the tour. Started with beer tasting. My first choice was hefe-weizen - wheat beer- I liked a lot and continued with the same. Had to admit that after the dinner I tried mead, blueberry one. Never had one before, but force me to read the history of mead. Everything came out of curiosity what Meadery is. Service was excellent including our tour. Ambience was cozy, I always like old barns converted for second life. read more

My family and I were driving down to 30A for Labor Day weekend and decided to stop by at Folklore for dinner on our way down. It was more than a little off the main road so we were a little worried at first, but like other reviews say, you'll drive past some homes, backyards, and auto junkyards before reaching the brewery so don't be spooked! When we got to the brewery, we were pleasantly surprised by how cozy and lively Folklore was! There's plenty of parking in their lots and both indoor and outdoor seating. We were there on a Thursday, but they have live music on Fridays and Saturdays. The staff was super nice and gave us tasters of their spirits, beer, and mead as we were deciding our drink orders. My dad and I got a couple beers and a flight, while my mom found a mead she really liked! We also got dinner at the little Cajun place inside. My dad got a burger while my mom and I got buffalo shrimp po boys. The po boys were SO GOOD. I loved the heat from the buffalo sauce. The burger was also delicious. I also loved the variety in beers (especially the Summer Shandy). We also ended up getting a bottle of bourbon we liked here as well! Great little spot in Dothan, definitely check it out!! read more

Folklore Brewing & Meadery - Buffalo Shrimp Po Boy - Breweries Near Me - Dothan, Alabama

What a fun & friendly place! We visited Folklore on a random Monday night a few weeks ago (mid-March), so this review is just for the libations & service. I did the "mead sampler," and thought all four samples were good, but I think the raspberry was the best. I've been to several "Meaderies" on the West Coast, and I think Folklore's offerings are much, much better. I wish our visit included live music or on-site food offerings, but realize we showed up on a Monday night in somewhat cold weather. Can't wait to go back! read more

We are staying here for the night in our motorhome as Folklore Brewing is a Harvest Host. The property is very spacious for our 40' motorhome and jeep in tow. Staff is very friendly! We had dinner and drinks and are very pleased with our visit! We had shrimp and chicken po' boys. Yum! Sandwiches were hot and had plenty of shrimp/chicken. We couldn't finish them. Kevin had the amber red ale and I sampled the sparkling cyser. Tasted like hard apple cider but not as sweet. Very good! They have live music Friday and Saturday nights so that's fun! Seems like they do a lot-Tomorrow they're hosting a craft show In their parking lot, Santa is coming and they have live music that night too! If you're in the Dothan, GA area make sure you stop! read more

AMAZING PLACE to have some really good beer and excellent food!! The atmosphere is perfect! We got the flight and had the lady pick our choices. She did a great job. All of them were great but ShadowCaster was my favorite. My husband ordered the Grouper platter and I got the Bourbon Street Burger. THE FRIES! OMG! Best fries I've had anywhere. Huge Cajun food menu. Almost hard to choose what to get. They have so many different flavor beers on tap, so something for everyone. They also have a live band on the weekend I think but we were just passing through on a Thursday night. So glad we came here. Highly recommend. Very family friendly and even have a playground for kids. Our special needs daughter is in a wheelchair and we had no problem getting her in and around the area. Love it here, just wish we had something like this closer to home. Highly recommend read more

Folklore Brewing & Meadery - Excellent food and beer!! - Breweries Near Me - Dothan, Alabama

The food is fairly good, and the beer selection is pretty extensive. The service is as good as any bar given the nature of the clientele. Meaning it can be fast or slow depending on who is ahead of you in line. I'm never in a hurry when I go, but I've not been unduly delayed getting my order. I love all the local talent and live performances on Friday nights. There's sort of a folksy/hippie vibe in this tucked away jewel. If you don't love the outdoors it may not be your thing, but it's right up my alley. read more

Folklore is a brewery and meadery in Dothan, Alabama that I have been trying to get to for a bit of time. Business found me in the area this early evening, so to quote Rod Stewart, "tonight's the night" and I headed that way. Following my GPS, I was directed to make a left and I thought that perhaps I turned up the wrong street as it appeared that I was heading into a trailer park, but, no, just ahead, lo and behold, was Folklore. My bartender, Rachel, was friendly and helped me navigate the menu and sample a few of their beers before I optedfor their Shadowcaster Porter. This poryerwas very good and I am enjoying it as I write this. I believe a second beer might be in order and it will be either their red ale or their hefeweizen. I shall return here, good beer is something we should treasure and having a good beer with a good friend even more do. read more

Folklore Brewing and Meadery Live music, open kitchen and plenty of great tasting brews in an indoor and outdoor setting that will literally blow you away. Short distance off Ross Clark Circle, down Hodgesville Road to Hagler Road in Dothan to find the brewery, but once there you will be impressed - GUARANTEED! The Service Team stems from the parking area as a greeter ushers you into an open parking spot, to the folks behind the food and beverage counters. Food was varied to satisfy anyone's palette, everything from traditional Cajun items like gumbo, muffulettas, to Po' Boys to seafood (fried shrimp, oysters, fish), chicken, burgers and some of the best hand cut French fries in the area. We enjoyed the muffulettas and Shrimp Po' Boy with a plentiful side of fries. Food was tasty, hot and well-seasoned. My guess is they have at least thirty, if not more varieties of brews on tap and a cooler for take home beers. The Brewery is open seven days a week and among the guests was a good mixture of age groups, children playing in the play area, people playing corn hole, others listening to the band, and some with their pets. The atmosphere is very laid back and enjoyable. Staff is super friendly and outgoing. From reading the posted advertisements, they have a variety of events and activities throughout the month for multiple ages. One activity we plan to return for is the Pints & Paints. Don't think one could ask for anything better on a warm mid-summer evening - delicious food with cold beer and live music. read more

We visited about a year ago. It was a surprise journey down the rabbit hole, hard to find but well worth the perseverance. We sat outside on a fine afternoon with our samplers, all were great. Pablo has a Folklore T-shirt and he wears it all the time. We just took it to the UK where they love mead and cider. We did not try the food. It's a road trip destination. read more

I stopped by Folklore during a business trip. I honestly can't wait to come back and try more of their beers and meads. I'm a fan of IPA's and their selection was pretty limited during my visit but the Snipe Hunt was great! Had a chance to try a few of their meads and I was impressed by the full bodied flavors (huge fan of the apple pie one). read more

Nice surprise at this local brewery/meadery. Went here with a group. As I was not a real beer drinker, I tried their apple cider/sparkling cyser and it didn't disappoint. They also serve New Orleans food with a place called blue cafe. I had the shrimp and grits and it was really good. They also have live music outside. Service was a little slow for the cafe. read more

Found it, and OMG, they are great. Love the large outdoor areas, indoors very kitschy. At the end of the day the beer is what matters most, tried 4 beers and 2 meads, all of them had a wonderful clean crisp flavor variety, each one stands alone and taste were clearly visible. Best one I've been to in months. This place is a must visit, food options thurs thru Sunday, we came on Wednesday so no review available. read more

Folklore Brewing & Meadery - Bar area where you get the good stuff. - Breweries Near Me - Dothan, Alabama

This place is kind of the middle of no where, but it's an adventure for sure! You'll end up in a residential area and next thing you know, your gps takes you to a "front yard" with awesome signs, perfect lighting, and the most relax ambiance for drinking and having a good time. I recommend mead, so delicious and made delicious! It's fermented honey and it's sweet. Their craft beers are pretty awesome! Also, whats really neat is they have a "Pay to forward" program. Pretty much, if you're a service member with ID, you get a "free" beer. I emphasize free, because it isn't really free. Someone else paid $5 towards it. Mead is $7, so you'll just pay the $2 difference. read more

Served Undercooked Shrimp with no Breading. When asked about it was asked if I wanted to cook it in the kitchen. Rude as fuck.

Don't set your expectations until you actually get here. They have flights to try different brews. The meads are good. They also have food. Thought 4 stars, not as large as other people reviewed as not being able to finish the food. They have cornhole and other board games. Can sit inside or outside. Took one star off bc they didn't have a couple of drinks that our group wanted to try but I'd say the whole experience is 4.5/5. read more

Pulling in, you wouldn't think you're about to arrive at a brewery. It's truly a location all its own, with an avant-garde vibe and open concept. The brews and the meads reflect the setup, with lots of variety and surprises. Luckily, I was able to try a flight of several beers and meads, most of which were tasty. I also appreciated the descriptions of each, and the availability of cans and bottles of most of the products that you could take home. Lots of merch, too! Just a neat place to check out if you're in the area. read more

This is one of Dothan's hidden gems! The mead is awesome and so is their beer! I didn't expect to see Cajun food on the menu the first time we went. It was actually really good! The outdoor seating is really peaceful. If you want to play cornhole, they have boards set up. It was a good place to take family and just hang out for the afternoon. You will think your GPS is taking you for a ride when you are navigating here so be warned! Just follow it to the address and you'll see signs. It just doesn't seem like a place where you'd find a brewery like this, but it is there! read more

There is a good menu variety, I ordered the cheese burger which came out in a few minutes. It didn't taste that good, in fact I've had way better. The ladies that serve you seem sweet but I only talked to them for a slight second. My Aunt ordered us some doughnuts but they were completely uncooked and tasted gross. The lemonade tastes like watered down Diet Pepsi, they have free popcorn, but there was barely any left and it was cold. They had free lollipops for children but they were melted, the fries were over seasoned, and they don't have regular coke, just Diet Coke. Overall the only good experience I had here was talking to my family and drinking water. 2 stars. :) read more

Quality beer, awesome service, and great atmosphere. This is exactly what a craft brewery should be but all too often isn't (from a CA resident who visits a lot of breweries). In a market loaded with underwhelming hazy IPA's it's refreshing to visit a brewery that has a core lineup that stands on its own. Six beers were sampled and every one was technically solid. Pils- light, refreshing, and appropriately hopped for the style. Wheat- a little lighter in color than most but great flavor with a touch of expected wheat tartness. Witbier- earthy, spicy crushable Belgian character that pleasantly sets it apart from the other light offerings. Red- so perfectly balanced. Toasty and sweet but not sticky or heavy with a nice complement of classic hop aroma and medium bitterness. Porter- delightful roastiness that transitions from chocolate to espresso. My favorite of the lineup. IPA- yes! West coast IPA all the way. Piney resin with a tiny bit of citrus and ripe stone fruit. Craft breweries, take note. Folklore is the model that should be emulated. read more
