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.

Half-pint, real ale. Rich lacing from a declining off-white head, clear amber body. Inviting smell of leafy hops and mid-sweet malts. Fine blended taste of grass, mild caramel malts and a touch of leafy hops towards a bittersweet finish. Drink very well. Nice. (Liverpool, 12.02.2025).

Cask at Ladram Bay Holiday Park, Devon. Clear amber with smooth off white head. Notes of biscuit, caramel, some floral hopping. Fairly light bitter which suited me perfectly on a hot day. Light dryness, refreshing.

Cask at The Briar Rose, Birmingham. Pours a dark gold with nice white top. There is a light citrus, grain, grassy and mid-bitter finish. Smooth, medium body and soft carbonation. Not huge in flavour but there is a very nice session balance to this which is often underrated.
