We are Dothan's only local brewery. We have beer on draft and in bottles throughout Dothan, Enterprise, Ozark, Auburn and Opelika. At the brewery you can see the equipment, meet the staff and sample up to 12 different brews. Many of which are not distributed due to experimental nature and seasonal one-off batches. When visiting, food will be available, usually for donations only. Bring valid I.D. and taxi service is available. Call for help arranging pickup or dropoff. Oh yeah, we are in the middle of our old family farm on the south side of Dothan. When you are coming and you think you are not going the right way...you're almost there! Tshirts and Pint glasses are available in the tasting room. The patio is open while improvements are being made. Live music is scheduled for several festival dates through out the year. Friendly Pets on leash and Designated drivers 16 and up are welcome.

Having a beer at Folklore is like going to a good friend's house for a cold one. The people are super friendly, the area clean and the beer is fantastic! Jeremy, the Brewmeister, is frequently there and he enjoys spending time with his customers (actually friends would be a better description as there appears to be no such thing as a stranger at Folklore). And the food is great! They also have special events and bands. During nice weather, it is wonderful to sit outside and enjoy the bands. Even when it is cold, there are several fire pits around to warm yourself. And after a day at the gun show or visiting the numerous antique shops around Dothan, it is a great place to chat with a friend about your finds! And to top it off, Folklore is DOG FRIENDLY!

We've seen towns with horse statues, tigers, cows and dogs. This was a first look at PEANUT statues, We decided to scavenger with the help of the peanut map. It was a fun time and it give us a look at Dothan. Our previous visit was unimpressive. Dothan is working to appeal to visitors.

Recently while travelling through Dothan, Alabama me and my friends decided to go downtown and check out the painted wall murals. We all enjoy great artwork and we had heard about all of the beautiful wall murals in Dothan, Alabama, so we decided to go see them. Our first stop was the "Visit Dothan" office to get a map locator of all the murals around town. We used this as our guide. In about 2 hours, we had found and photographed all of the Painted Wall murals in Downtown Dothan. They are really cool. Each mural depicts a story about the History of Dothan. Each one offers an amazing photo opportunity. The Artist is a guy named "Wes Harden", who is a local artist. What a great painter! This guy's artwork is amazing. If you are ever in Dothan, Alabama... I highly recommend that you set aside a couple of hours and walk, or drive around and find these art gems. This artwork has made the older part of town very appealing. On a scale of 1 to 10... I give this attraction a 12 !!!
