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.

31/5/2024. From cask at the 37th Colchester Real Ale and Cider Festival. Pours clear bright pale gold with a small frothy white head. Aroma is lemony, floral, drizzle cake, grass. Fairly sweet with light to moderate bitterness and a tart edge. Moderate body, oily, soft carbonation. Light bitter finish. It's okay.
