## About

Built on our old family farm that was purchased in 1962, Folklore Brewing & Meadery became the first "packaging brewery" in Dothan since the Prohibition era. With Folklore's obscure location, the brewery feels much like a speakeasy in the back woods of South Alabama, creating a vibe that's been delightfully described as "having a beer in a buddy's backyard." Folklore Brewing is based around cherishing Alabama's stories or "Folklore." Wives tales, tall tales, stories from our youth–it's about preserving and passing on our heritage to the next generations. Our creative outlet is beer, but we prioritize our community: charities, animal rescues, families, military veterans, and taking care of our fellow man is our passion. "It's the Beer That Binds Us." Our beer recipes have been developed for over a decade, keeping the good friends and loved ones coming back time and again. Come by to relax and sit on the porch while listening to your favorite music with a pint of southern crafted Folklore beer.
