With over five generations of brewers in the family, the building of Otter Brewery was, and still is, without a doubt, a labour of love. We believe this is why our beer tastes so great and why more and more people are drinking it. Our product offering is constantly evolving to suit the needs of both traditional and modern ‘craft’ drinkers. A range that provides something for everyone.
By 2003, we realised that we were rapidly outgrowing our original production facilities and we took the plunge to invest in a fantastic new, state of the art, brewery and cellar – both of which are award-winning in their own right. The business still occupies the same rural site and now the old brewery barns are used to feed the troops rather than brew beer. In 2007 we built the underground cellar which was certainly the first of its scale in Devon.
Most importantly, all our growth has been organic and we remain proud to be family run.

Fra cask på The Mossy Well: klar rødlig kastanjefarge med fint skum som varer lenge. Ristet brød, mørke bær, noe sjokolade og hint av kaffe. Fin bitterhet og god maltsmak.

Cask at The Village Inn, Westward Ho! Plain aroma. Reddish colour. Homely flavour like an English strong ale without the booze - aka ESB vibes! Easy with gentle spice to it.

Cask at the White Swan JDW, Solihull. Poured a slightly hazy medium amber colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is malt, yeasty. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a smooth, fresh, malt, light piney, hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.
