Folklore Brewing & Meadery

Meadery in Dothan, Alabama

4.9★ 489 Google reviews

Built on an old family farm that was purchased in 1962, Folklore Brewing & Meadery became the 1st "packaging brewery" in Dothan since the Prohibition era. Jeremy Pate and his family started brewing beer as a pastime, but the concept of doing it for a living quickly became their dream. Folklore's beers were in development long before the dream became a reality. With its obscure location, the brewery feels much like a speakeasy in the back woods. The tasting room has over 14 varieties of beer and 8 or more house-made meads to sample and order a glass of. Growlers can be filled and 6-packs can be purchased, both for off-premise consumption.

What Is a Meadery?

A meadery is a place that makes mead, which is wine made from honey. Here is what that means in practice, and what you will find if you walk into one.

Is Mead Wine or Beer?

Mead is wine. It ferments from honey rather than grain, and federal law regulates it under the wine rules, even when it is poured in a taproom that feels like a brewery.
