What to do and see in Alabama, United States: The Best Breweries

November 2, 2021 Christa Meece

If you head for the hills in the state you’ll end up in the northern sector where the inspiring mountains and attractions like the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, the Blue & Gray Museum in Decatur and the Ave Maria Grotto in Cullman represent the diversity of experiences available in the area. In the middle of the state you’ll find Birmingham, an urban center with great attractions and museums, and Tuscaloosa, the quintessential college town and home to the University of Alabama. For beach lovers, sandy destinations like Dauphin Island near Mobile, Gulf Shores and Orange Beach offer beautiful beaches, superb golf, fantastic seafood restaurants and heaping helpings of Southern hospitality. For those who love to chase the white dimpled ball, Alabama offers one of the best golf values anywhere. The Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail, a collection of 468 holes at 11 different sites across the state, features top-notch, championship style courses at affordable rates.

Folklore Brewing & Meadery

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!

As one of the two largest breweries in Huntsville, you'll find a decent selection of beers here. They also offer a full menu (I recommend the Montreal Poutine!) and own the Speakeasy hidden down the hall. Located in a converted middle school (the brewing takes place in the old gymnasium), there is a bar on either side of the gym, one inside and one outside, each with full food and beer service. Dogs are welcome on the patio.

Great afternoon stop with the family! Got the kiddos some apps and adults enjoyed the beers. Great variety and they’re all exceptional! Didn’t find one that wasn’t great! Even bought a growler with some to bring home!
